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

What warbird have you flown or flown in?

Fri Dec 21, 2007 5:04 pm

I've flown in a P-51, SNJ, both at Oshkosh

Sat in the cockpit of two P-38's, POF's at Chino, white liighting at Reno, Corsair at Chino, F6F at Chino, P-47 at Santa Monica.

I'm sure all of you have many, many more than me.

I have never flown a warbird ... yet!

SNJ - flown 40+ hrs
P51 - flown in
Corsair - flown in
B25 - flown in
L5 - flown
Stearman - flown
Ford Trimotor - flown in, but flew the Bushmaster 2000 (also a trimotor)

Sat in: White Lightin' (cockpit checkout), Sea Fury Miss Merced (cockpit checkout), Strega, Rare Bear

I'd have to go through my logbook to see if there are others, but that's what comes to mind immediately

OK you guys ... STOP!!!!! .... flown or flown in? .... :P

Fri Dec 21, 2007 5:54 pm

I've flown 42 types now, but some of those are similar in nature (a few of the Cessna series for example). I'd have to get the logbook out to list them all, but that would probably not interest most of you anyway.

Only have had the pleasure of riding in two. A C-124 and an L-2
I remember watching the same Taylorcraft taxiing out a few years later when something let go on the right gear and it slowly settled down till the prop and wingtip hit. It was barely moving at the time. Better there than on take-off or landing.
