This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The Tanker Base Manager for the Oregon Division of Forestry at Medford just handed me something interesting.Its a Kolsman aircraft periscopic sextant in the original wooden carrying case.The sextant has a yellow tag that indicates that it was inspected on "Jan 17 1984".It appears to be in mint condition.An ex-USAF person gave this to Phil Hufstader (the ODF guy) with instructions to try to find an aircraft museum that would appreciate it for display.I asked Phil if a flying warbird would qualify.He seemed to think that it might.
The tag on the box,which matches the info on the yellow tag reads:
Sextant Aircraft Periscope
