Warbird Information Exchange

These were taken at Chino in June 1986. I appologise about the quality as the hangar was very, very dark but I think the subjects were worth it.


A-4 N444AV This aircraft crashed killing the pilot a few months later


F-86 N86BD(?)


An un known T-33 in rather a fetching colour scheme. I have never seen any pictures of this aircraft ever!


An un known Hunter

Hope you might find them interesting

The Sabre is N86CD which was owned by Corwin Denny and flown on the show circuit by R.A. Bob Hoover.

The T-bird in black was owned by ATV which was the same owner as the A-4 that crashed. It is now owned by The Fredkin family I believe.

The Hunter i believe is former G-HUNT which went to Combat Jets in Houston and later to OSH where it never flew again.

Hope this helps.

Come to think about it i think the HUNTER is not the combat jets A/c as it came to the stats already red. This maybe the Hanson Hunter at Mojave which was later painted light green.

Didn't Guy Neeley auger in the this A-4 filming a commercial?

Seems like odd circumstances. Aerobatics- slow roll to an ejection. Expired medical...
