ReconRat Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Here's the place in Florida that is doing much of the restorations;http://www.americanaeroservices.com/I've been to several warbird restorations places in Florida. This one doesn't appear to allow the public in. I'll have to try anyway. The weird part about aircraft in Florida is... when a hurricane suddenly approaches, almost anyone is allowed to fly any aircraft away to another airport where it's safer. It's either that, or be destroyed on the ground. Weeks Warbirds near Miami begged for pilots when hurricane Andrew approached...Here's what happens if you don't allow just any pilot to fly your multi million dollar warbird away from a hurricane: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
