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

There is more good stuff to come. They don't want to use up all their ammunition so early in the game.

Cheers,

Tom, I have no doubt there are a lot of outstanding warbirds still to be revealed as time goes by! With 5 months to the show, plenty of time for more "surprises........'

Less than 17 Friday Taxiway Photography Tour slots remain available for this years Tom.

These always sell out well in advance of the show.

Wow - that's a tremendous addition to the lineup, Michael! Even if it's not be exactly part of the theme, I can't think of a better addition to the lineup for Thunder and that Privateer will be one of the highlights of the show for sure. I hope we get to see it fly with its sister ship the CAF B-24 "Diamond Lil!"

That would be really cool. The beginning and the end of that aircraft design in one place.

This is the same PB4Y-2 that when it was a water bomber it was converted to have Wright R-2600 engines. I may have to make a road trip this August.

Is the privateer flying in warbird colors or still in Water bomber colors?

Warbird markings, simple but great bare metal, serial number, stars and bars. http://vimeo.com/67771905

Just to clarify, many (most?) that served in fire suppression had the R-2600 conversion completed.
