That's great news Michael, maybe we'll have a couple Skyraiders yet at TOM.

Very nice. I look forward to hearing all the plans as they become available. As we all know TOM always has lots of surprises.

Cool! Should be a nice mix of jets and props. I'm hoping for an A-26 or two personally.

Sounds Excellent.

Possible warbirds that come to mind are: A-1 Skyraider, OV-1 Mohawk, A-4 Skyhawk, F-4 Phantom II, F-100 Super Sabre, C-7 Caribou, C-47/AC-47, C-123K, C-130E, O-1, O-2, T-28, A-26, UH-1 Huey, UH-34D Seahorse, H-21 Shawnee (VERY unlikely - in California), MiG-17, MiG-21, HU-16, A-37.

Those are just some off the top of my head - there are probably other types also. Several Vietnam-era types and the usual great cross section of warbirds (props and jets) from other eras should make for a fantastic TOM next August.

Spoke with Michael Luther yesterday. We are working out the details to participate and I am really looking forward to it. TOM and their volunteers are some of the best in the business to work with.

I just flew the airplane for a couple of flights last week after a year long firewall forward restoration. Everythings great and I'm ready to roll.

Ed, the outer rocket on the starboard wing looks crooked. What's up with that?

Though they both like flying.

Don't forget the B-52, that would be neat to see fly at TOM.
