THE ORIGIN OF NWOC
What you don’t know might interest you ...
For those new to the phenomenon known as the National Warbird Operator Conference, or simply NWOC, the humble beginnings of this gathering may be somewhat vague or even confusing. It’s really quite simple.
In 1992, EAA Warbirds of America president Bill Harrison and Lone Star Flight Museum administrator Ralph Royce conceived the idea of a gathering of warbird organizations, flying museums, and owners while on the ramp at the National Championship Air Races at Reno. The purpose? Essentially, it was to discuss common goals and address the changing environments in which we operate warbird aircraft.
The need for the gathering became more apparent when the FAA imposed a moratorium on the importation and licensing of surplus military turbine-powered aircraft. As it turned out, other issues were also tugging on our sleeves which needed addressing. Bill Harrison spoke well when he remarked, “We don’t necessarily need to come away from this meeting with all the answers, but we do need to find out what the questions are and develop a plan to answer them.”
