Warbird Information Exchange

Hearing news reports that a hangar with 8 vintage aircraft and some vintage motorcyles has burned with the loss of all contents. Did not say what type of aircraft, just that they were vintage. Anybody know more or care to speculate.

I was not at the Phx regional airport. I talked to my friend there and he has no idea where it was.

Same ones I found, but none are shown in Arizona, although the registrations for each are out of date.

Here is the location, it is in the middle of no where

Here are some others registered in Maricopa, AZ, just in case there were other people hangared at his airfield.

And considering the Flying Bucket private airfield is only a 2900' long, turf (or dirt out here) field, I'd suspect nothing larger than any of these.

If you haven't been out that way, there are a TON of private airfields - there's about 7 within a few miles of this one... I guess someone decided that the only EASY way to get anywhere from way out there was to fly...
