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

Just wondering if anyone has any scoops they can share in regards to future recoveries.

Been a few over the last few years and I assume NMNA are working there way through. The F6F and F4U are making good progress as is an SBD.
NMNA probably have the TBD in mind for a recovery at some stage and possibly another SBD which is a Operation Torch veteran - originally slated for last year but went for the FM-2 instead. I would have thought the SBD would be the next one and possibly this year but I am sure they depends on so many other things.

Are they still relying on sponsorship for the recoveries (especially with ongoing sequestration) Mark?

Relying on sponsorship, Yes.

Here's another Wildcat recovery I wasn't aware of that happened just six months ago (on 'Doomsday' 12-21-2012). It looks like they are still steadily pulling them up on a regular basis.
