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

This morning (4/13) I saw a faded, olive drab aircraft on a semi going east on I-74 in central Illinois. It believe there was just 1 engine (radial) on the trailer and the prop was attached. I would guess it to be an Avenger or a Wildcat or something of that vintage. Just got a quick glimpse as I met the truck on the interstate so not much more detail.
Anyone know of any warbirds of that description moving through Illinois dissassembled and in shipping gigs?

I think there was a PV-1 Ventura moving around in that area at some point recently.

Supposedly there are several P-47B/C's under restoration somewhere in Illinois or Wisconsin. Can't remember the guy's name. Perhaps it was one of those airframes?
