hmmm, great fixer upper?

I don't think there are any civilian ones flying in the US.

 

[evangilder]

I don't think so either. Chino Planes of Fame has three of them on static display though. They have an F-84B, F-84F and an RF-84K.

I recently met a guy who flew one in the 50s. He said it was a pig. (Opps I better watch saying that )

Where is that one GT, in a playground?

SAd that a warbird is relegated to a toddler play house.

Good that they are going to put it in a museum. It would be nice to see it in it's former glory.

 

[Archangel]

to bad i dont have the monney for something like that..
actually,.. i've never even seen a warbird from closer as 500 Meters

 

[cheddar cheese]

The closest I can remember being to a warbird is when we drove past an EE Lightning on a plinth somewhere outside HMS Raleigh.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Really? How far from HMS Raleigh? I was just there last summer. I don't recall seeing a Lightning.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Umm...10-15 miles or so. I was just sitting there on the bus vacantly looking out the window after a knackering day of sports and challenges, and I saw a Lightning flash past.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Cool. I wish I'd known about it and where to find it. That would've been interesting to see.
