Not anymore…it had a landing incident in the 00’s and hasn’t flown since then… I saw a report that she was donated to the Brussels museum…
No one mentioned Lysanders, Boomarangs and A-26’s
Don’t how many are flying, but a few are..
And what about early jets??
What is your definition of a”warbird”
There are loads of trainers, cargo haulers and utility planes around that were in military service once…
Looks great!!
Well if the props are similar to the F27. Have you tried Fokker service at Woensdrecht, the Netherlands?
The F-4 is not a US Navy one. It is a well known photo of a 57th FIS F-4E.
It looked like the pilot was in a hurry to put her down on the runway. He was taking a shortcut from the landing circuit…
The wheels were down when Velma came down…
AFAIK The P-47’s Soldierd on wel into the 50’s With the ANG… as did the P-51.
After WW2 all fighting forces reduced their forces and choices had to be made on which types were more usefull or economical to use…
It just shouts HAWKER!!!

Probably scrapped on site.
Is it the only one in the Netherlands ?
The only airworthy one. The National Military Museum at Soesterberg has one in storage.
Why were Red Bull using a gun ship as their aircraft?
Do they have a policy of using unusual historic types for publicity reasons?
Just seems a strange craft to use.
Here in Europe it is a rare beast, on the other side of the Atlantic it is s rather comon sight, a civil operated Cobra…. And Yes RB likes the unusual..
I don’t think the Egypt AF still have operational Phantoms. Iran and Japan are still operating them..
I think the Russian military are still Using the IL18.
