There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That and the F8C/E crusader.I am surprised that the Collings Foundation has not brought its F-4E back to airworthy status yet. I occasionally watch their YouTube videos, featuring engine test runs, etc; but to my knowledge it hasn't flown in quite a long time. Would love to see it flying again and at Oshkosh. NC
That is good news. Would like to see and hear the Crusader again after 60 years since I last loaded one with 20MM and Zunis on Yankee station.I just read this on Wiki about the F-8 that is reportedly being restored: 145592 - under restoration to airworthiness by a private owner in Seattle, Washington,[103] After being operated by the U.S. Navy, the registration number was changed to NX19TB, with the X removed from the middle. It was then transferred to the Flying Heritage Collection at Arlington Municipal Airport in Arlington, Washington, although it is believed that the wings were still able to fold at that time. It is unknown what condition it is currently in. I don't understand why a A-7 Corsair II was never taken on a restoration project.
