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

one of my favorites,
Aircraft fly because of a principle discovered by Bernoulli, not Marconi,
In other words, in a emergency, fly the darn plane, and worry about calling someone later.
I think Bob Hoover said it best, Fly the plane as far into the crash as you can.
they did bend the hell out of that plane, I heard that there was not a seat cushion to be found on the plane.

One thing that has me curious about the description of events that I'd like to know more about is the sequence of events with the engines. One description sounds like an NTS system activation (engine surging) and the other sounds like a bearing getting blown out (engine vibration).
