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 videos were great and the kids were great. It was not about the warbirds (or not), it was not about which generation was the greatest, who had the better taste in music, it was not about the traps or the next cycle, wasn't even about the next port of call. It was about a squadron becoming more of a team while sharing the stress and strain of doing what their country asked them to do under the pressures of being seperated from home and family. Had we had video cameras, computers and dvd's back in whatever day we did our service time, what craziness would we have captured on film.
