Please consider uploading your own photos.
Photos of roadside warbirds and museum collections are most welcome.
Photos of aircraft as they are currently displayed are great, but photos of airframes in previous markings, with past owners or during a restoration are fantastic as well. You can help document the history of airframes with photos!

Photo Date: On 4 September 1982 Credit: Andy Chetwyn Date Uploaded: 10 November 2014 Airframe: Fabrica Militar de Aviones (FMA) IA-58A Pucara, s/n ZD486 RAF, c/n 033 Notes: FMA Pucara A-533 of the Argentine Air Force III Brigada Aerea parked at RAF Finningley in September 1982. Built in 1979 she was used in defence of the Falkland Islands by the Argentines during the Falklands War and captured by the allied forces after the cease fire in June 1982. She was brought back to the UK and used for tests by the AandAEE at Boscombe Down as ZD486 but never flew again. She was then preserved at Middle Wallop but after falling into disrepair was scrapped although her cockpit section remains preserved at Boscombe Down Airframe Dossier - Location Dossier View other photos by Andy Chetwyn as the...

Photo Date: Circa October 2013 Credit: Brad Donner Date Uploaded: 10 November 2014 Airframe: Fairchild F-24W-46, c/n W-46-305, c/r N77605 Notes: More interior components. These are the door panels below the window sill, the side panel below the door opening, the cover for the butt rib over the door opening (note the hole for the fuel gage), and a side kick panel that goes forward of the door and below the side of the windshield (note the cutout for the fuel valve). The dark brown is leather stretched over aircraft plywood (four ply mahogany - I think) with a backing material. The lighter material is mohair - also stretched over plywood with a backing material. The colors and materials are accurate per the 1946 blueprints and brochures. Airframe Dossier - Location Dossier View other photos by Brad Donner as the... Photographer - Uploader - Both |

Photo Date: On 14 September 2013 Credit: Brad Donner Date Uploaded: 10 November 2014 Airframe: Fairchild F-24W-46, c/n W-46-305, c/r N77605 Notes: The turtle deck, or top of the fuselage. The F-24 fuselage structure is welded steel tubing. The fuselage curvature is the result of an elaborate former and stringer assembly attached to the top, side, and bottom of the welded steel tubing structure. The top part of this assembly is VEERRRRYYYY elaborate and takes many labor hours and a giant mound of expensive sawdust to create. Here it is between coats of varnish.

Here you can see the vent itself and the frame pieces that surround it. The frame pieces are spruce that has been varnished and then covered with mohair upholstery.

Photo Date: On 12 September 2013 Credit: Brad Donner Date Uploaded: 10 November 2014 Airframe: Fairchild F-24W-46, c/n W-46-305, c/r N77605 Notes: Another fun day of wet sanding. Here you can see the inlet for the cabin air vents. This opening is a lot more elaborate than it looks. The leading edges of the wings are mahogany. This opening, which has a screen cover once its finished, creates an air plenum which is formed by the inside of the leading edge skin and the front face of the forward spar. There is a solid nose rib just outboard of the opening to prevent air from moving outboard of the opening. The air is routed through this wooden plenum to registers in the roof of the cabin just above the windshield frame. These registers are adjustable through a small plunger that moves a vane to modulate the amount of air coming into the cabin - remember, this was before the invention of the eyeball or Wemac vent. True to all things Fairchild - it is elaborate, has a high parts count, and is labor intensive to get right. But all worth it in the end.

Photo Date: On 29 June 2001 Credit: Brad Donner Date Uploaded: 10 November 2014 Airframe: Fairchild F-24W-46, c/n W-46-305, c/r N77605 Notes: Fred before he stopped flying. This picture was taken at Aero Country Airport in McKinney, TX (T-31) after an annual inspection. The airplane changed hands a few times between the late 1980s and my acquisition of it in 2004. As best I can tell, the airplane was never recovered after the 1963 Gupton rebuild in California, but it was repainted. Compare this image with the images taken in the 1960s and note the different trim configuration, particularly on the cowling and wheel pants. A previous owner had also swapped the Aeromatic F220 propeller out for a Flottorp propeller. I had the Aeromatic rebuilt and have retained the Flottorp as a spare. The airplane looks good in this picture, but it was in need of a rebuild. The fabric and paint were showing their age, the interior was badly worn, and some of the internal woodwork was deteriorating. It was time...
