Default RE: Which Hangar 9 Warbird

Believe it or not... [sm=lol.gif] The Hanger 9 J-3 Cub can be considered a Warbird. The Americans and the Germans used the J-2 and 3 in WWII. I'm getting the PNP version. Look on the Net, you'ld be surprised of the amount of action the Cub played in WWII. I read one story that a Pilot took out his Service Revolver, and shot down a Stork. [sm=lol.gif]

I also read some where on the Net that one Cub got captured back and forth between the Americans and the Germans 3 times! All those years of me getting Rated in a Real J-3, and I never knew that. So Technically, I guess I really used to fly a Warbird.[sm=72_72.gif]
