Thom Richards has moved his Warbirds Adventures operation to North Carolina. The P-40 “American” and T-6 are no longer there.
I remember back in the early 2000’s, one of the tour guides at Fantasy of Flight stating that there was a P-47 in box on the other side of the field. This was back when the current “Museum Lite” was a maintenance facility and there was no tour access. Well, do to some on site work being done on containers (rust) and wooden shelves (termites), the container with the P-47 was opened.
Below are some of the photos of the P-47 that Kermit posted online of this Venezuelan Air Force P-47.







Kermit Weeks’ posted this update on Facebook concerning the restoration of his A-26 in California.
“OK, Gang, despite some weather issues, our Douglas A-26B now has most of its paint and markings on!
Special thanks to Michael O’Leary from Air Classics, who did a LOT of research to come up with the original and accurate squadron markings from when it flew in France during WWII.
The individual markings couldn’t be found, so I am going to take a bit of “artistic license” with the nose art. Stay tuned”
Looks like it may be coming to Florida in the near future.


The Orlando Sanford International Airport recently opened a new section of their airport terminal which includes a display of a PV-1 Ventura. Also displayed is a RA-5 Vigilante at the entrance of the airport.
I have posted on the work being done on the Ventura a few times (from 2014) but the end result is amazing. Planning to contact the airport leadership to do a closer look in the near future.
