First off, that is a very comprehensive list!

A few that come to mind to add to those already mentioned throughout the thread:

Legend Flyers: https://www.facebook.com/wherelegendsflyagain/

Air Leasing: https://www.facebook.com/Air-Leasing-Lt ... le_browser
(The combat-vet 361st FG P-51D "Mary Mine" recently came out of long-term storage and entered the Air Leasing shop)

JEM Aviation: https://www.facebook.com/jemaviation/

Vintage Airframes/Allied Fighters: https://www.facebook.com/Allied-Fighter ... 241462297/

Off the top of my old head:


C&P Aviation (F-82, etc.)

Tab-Air

I'm sure there are more, but happy hour beckons.

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

"Courtest Aircraft" is a typo
"Wild Warbirds" is a dead link

and you can add;
51 Factory

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. A quick question, are AeroTrader.com and AeroTrader.net related or not?


This list is great about 10x better than mine. I think there is another similar, although less comprehensive, one out there somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it.


Thanks! I wish I could say it compares well with the one above!


I didn't think to check Facebook, and honestly I'm not a really big fan of the website. Also, I tend to only include direct links to individual websites in my bookmarks. However, I would be missing a huge part of the industry if I didn't, so I really appreciate you mentioning those.


Errors fixed and link added, thanks!

I'm always making minor corrections like this to other people's lists, and afraid of seeming nit-picky, so I understand completely.

I didn't go through all the links above, and not sure he is still actively working, but Ray Middleton out of Loveland CO, who did a lot of British aircraft. He was the one who repaired, or is repairing, Bill Greenwood's two seater Spitfire.

How is that Spitfire coming along?, it seems to have been a long time out of action.

I'm pretty sure they are NOT!

Antique Aero out of Paso Robles, CA....specialist in WWI and between theocrats aircraft and engines. IIRC, Chuck Wentworth did some of the aircraft for The Rocketeer.

They did a lot if work Arango collection.
