NICE lineup of warbirds! As far as jets go, what about Ross Perot, Jr's "Thunderbird" T-38? - saw a photo on Facebook of it flying in. And were there any F-86 Sabres there?

The Weeks example is static as a part of the museum. It did not fly in. Therefore, I don't think it counts.

And I saw photos of an Arctic Camo MiG-17 with a red star on the tail......

I don't count the L-39's - so don't mind not seeing them on the list.
