New FG-1D Restoration Project

We are currently in the process of restoring an FG-1D Corsair BuNo. 67070.  We are doing a ground up restoration on this aircraft.  It should be a real show stopper when we are done.  Check out our progress as we go along on this webpage.

Warbirds Past and Present

We currently have two airworthy warbirds in our hangar.  P-51D Mustang "Hurry Home Honey" and P-51D Mustang "Shangri-La."  Vintage Fighters also restored a P-47D Thunderbolt that was originally painted as "Big Ass Bird II."  The P-47 was later repainted in the "Tarheel Hal" paint scheme before being sold to the Lone Star Flight Museum in Texas.  Vintage Fighters also restored and operated another FG-1D Corsair BuNo. 92399 painted up in a VF-17 paint scheme.  The Corsair was sold to the Late David Jeansonne.

Rides of a Lifetime

While working at the Vintage Fighters Hangar, I have managed to get a ride in everything we have with a back seat in it.  I have managed to take a few pictures on a couple rides.  check out the links below to see what it is like to ride in a Mustang.
