I have added a number of pictures from 1995, 1997 and 1998 to my Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum album. You can find the album via this page...

...or go directly to the album at...

A number of these pictures were taken by Tom Roberts. Tom gave me a large stash of photos last summer and I am gradually adding them to the Aerial Visuals collection.

Enjoy!

Mike

Some may think this "nit-picking," but the Warbird Adventures SNJ-6s were actually never part of Tom Reilly's place........The ramp space was at that time rented from Reilly's, but Warbrid Adventures is still there, in their gorgeous new hangar, and still in the business of doing flights!

No, not nit-picking. The album is meant to represent what was spotted during various visits to the Reilly facility, not just was belonged to Reilly or was worked on by Reilly. The captions should indicate the true owner of the various airframes. I will give them a scan to verify that.

Thanks, Mike. I just wanted to make sure that (just in case) folks didn't see the WA SNJs & lump them in with the "closed" Reilly's.......

Aaaahhhh... I see your point. I have changed the caption on the features page. Let me know if that is OK.

Warbird Adventures is an awsome place. I flew with then a few years ago. It was great. Any one know what is going on with the Rude Invader?
