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

Yes Yes Yes!

OK, a compromise then. Korean War as the theme. That way we can see Skyraiders, Tiger Cats, Sabres, MiGs, A-26s, P-51s and ???

Hey didn't they use B-29s in Korea too?

A Korean War theme is an excellent idea. It would be a great tribute to the men that fought in the "forgotten war."

OK...youse troops need to get off the pipe for awhile. These "ideas" are becoming as far fetched as my "6 P-38s".

I would come to see privately owned Surplus Navy aircraft at an airshow :D , but I get so Pi$$ed at the Navy HQ Command :evil: , that I really don't want to associate with them :roll: because of the way they have claimed stricken aircraft.
The Forgotten War experiance would be a good show and quite a diversity of aviation assets....Light to heavy categories...oh wait, :shock: we lack a B-29 :( DayUm

I think that was one of their ideas for last years show before they announced it was going to be P-47's.

I like the Korean War theme too! We could bring our Sabre out and show Mudge a real round engine. Come on over to the good side Mudge! :)

Tom Woods sabre is fine as far as i know. It hasnt flown recently cause of its expense. Im sure for the right price he'd bring it up.

Tom's Sabre hasn't had air under the wheels for about 5 years. :(

Following on Mike Luther's post next years show in August will be conducted from the East side of the Airport. No specific theme has been chosen but a few good ones are being considered! Stay tuned.

Cheers,

Tom Walsh.
