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

Specifically, if anybody knows, what will they be doing to it during this 5 to 7 year restoration? Thanks.

Both German cars, should be fine. :lol:


You can do whatever you want with your car. Let the warbird experts figure out where to send their projects. AvSpecs is certainly capable of fitting out this B-17 with all its combat equipment which is what they are doing. Since this is the first time that this has been done by any shop, I think you will find there isn't anyone with that expertise. The heavy structural work is staying in Oregon with the guys that are doing several wing spar projects.

I would hesitate to send any of my projects to Warren. No matter what the type.
