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

Flying is the 2nd most challenging thing a person can do.
Landing is the #1.

Keeping my people employed in a poor economy ranks right up there too. I'd rather be challenged all day flying ...

I know you wouldn't take the thread title in the literal sense. It was all I could come up with with my usual poor attempt at humor.

A 'real' warbird any way you cut it, this is Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc PZ865 'The Last of the Many'*; I'd guess photographed in the late 1940s, when owned and operated by Hawkers as a heritage aircraft - a warbird of that era - and still flying today with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

*The title 'The Last of the Many', referring to this being the last of the numerous Hurricanes built, and a riff on the phrase associated with another fighter type, can just be made out below the cockpit, if you know it's there.

Love the PBJ-1H breaking away. The modelers must really dig that angle for the paint lines. Love it.

So what's the story behind Pete's P-38?
