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

Good story that talks about the “Scoopectomy” and how they got the plane cross-country….I really think that GG would have been a serious contender in the Gold Race….Jimmy sure had high hopes. God Bless them all....

Beat me to the punch on the XP-51. When the EAA had the XP-51 restored, there were only three people that got to officially fly it; Paul Poberezny- EAA founder, Vern Jobst- Pauls best friend, and Jimmy Leeward.
That should tell you something about his character and flying ability.
