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

Can't tell you how much I've been enjoying this thread. But it's a funny thing ..... I still have no clue what Stratolina is.
Pogo the hopeless DA

(and I ain't no district attorney, either)

Gary, what did I do to start such a thread?

But I am happy about it. See I got you fame. OTher people are trying to convince you to market Stratolina. Can't be as bad as trying to market a few cadillac's stuck in the ground!

I predict the Stratolina will becone a creature of myth. People will pass downs stories of her for generations to come. Ya know like the Loch Ness monster or Herbie the Love Bug

Hey how about this:
Pour tons of money in it, just like a warbird. Get merlin engines, F-102 wheels, and a P-51 tail, and then try to sell it on ebay.!!
