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

Keep up all the great work! Glad to see you can finally get more then just SAC aircraft there now.
Time to get the B-47 in for some paint!

It's on the list! It'll have to be done in place, but it's really not as bad as it looks. It's really only the leading edges of the wings. They're painted with water based paint! The rest is in super good shape.

The "Powers-That-Be" at the Castle Air Museum REALLY need to attack that poor old C-47! It's the saddest one among the entire collection.

We are ALWAYS accepting volunteers!

Actually, it is presently being worked on. I am not real technical, so please bear with me. I understand it has been painted several times but for some reason it's not been taking. It has to be done in place. We've recently found a technique that seems to work, so keep your fingers crossed. When you come see us you'll be able to see what's new

And before anyone says anything about the grass, that's above my pay grade.

Sadly, as this state drys up, so will what is left of the grass.

We've already been told we get zero for the grass this year. Do a dance for spring showers
