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

JMKendall's original entry stated that "as many as 17 aircraft many have been buried..." . Interesting that the photo I posted shows 17 aircraft. What a coincidence !!!! Also, the report link that he posted was somewhat lengthy (183 pages) BUT if you advance to page 41 there is a rather dramatic COLOR photo of a C-82 on fire!!!

Resurrecting this thread, because, in my digging through the Life magazine archives for reference material, I found that, weirdly enough, Life actually covered this (or photographed it, at least):
Air Crash Test In Ohio (the main set)

The aircraft in most of the pics is a C 46

Do you mean the C-46 or the A-26 parked next to the C-82?
