If you could own one warbird...

Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:28 am

To balance the WIXers who own a warbird thread...

Post a pic of the one warbird out there that you'd like to own, if you had a bag of gold coins.

As we non-warbird owners are caring, sharing guys, those who do own a warbird can play, too. Posting 'the one I own' is kinda ahhh 'I like the girl who is my wife', but here you are allowed to chose others.. (warbirds, not wives*.)

Have fun.

Chooose ...


wisely.



*Our female warbird owners may feel like substituting 'film star' / 'husband' etc. as appropriate. Or not.

Now how do I pay for the gas?

B-25.
I can take my friends with me and it's still a draw at an airshow, plus it has the best ride going for a bomber!

I'd settle for one, but if I had two bags of gold coins, I'd have a couple a' new-build FlugWerk Fw 190s for the airshow circuit ...

Please try again. Your entry is faulty.

You must specify a particular actual warbird, not a type.

You must post a pic of it.

You must have a nice day.

Thank you for flying JDK / WIX co-share. We never forget you have a choice. :D

I know, I know, James...it's not quite out there yet. But soon...soon...

I've also completely betrayed my proper round motor upbringing, but there's just something about the -82's. Anybody else have the same issue?

Unfortunately ,someone has beaten me to this one but I am sure there will be others!

If it was a really big bag of coins,I would'nt mind getting the Supermarine Walrus airbourne,just be cause it would the first one for a looong time and because it would make JDK even more jealous, after I had a flight in his favourite jet....... :wink:

A jet-powered Walrus. Now that really would be something to see!

Oh for a few low passes in this!! Maybe a strange choice but each to their own eh!! Different colour scheme but still keep a few of the creature comforts in the back for the airshow circuit (but only ones with a large body of water nearby obviously!!! :shock: ) Still, plenty of water about where I live and they used to build them nearby. Nice.........
