  • Sawbones damaged

    I heard from a close friend within the warbird community that Sawbones was recently damaged in a landing incident. He said the gear was "down, but not locked" and it suffered a collapsed gear with belly, engine/prop damage.

    Anyone confirm this?

        Ok, I was a bit behind on my info. Thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully, she'll be up and running before too long.

        thanks!

            New photos of "Furias" partially painted in the new "Air Classics". Good article on the"Cobra I & II" P39 racers.
