Being a warbird maintainer means a lot of different things, and many have nothing to do with turning a wrench. For example, here we have Gary Spenser polishing the P-47 canopy, while Mike McGowan polishes a spare T-34 canopy. There's always something we need an extra pair of hands for, so if you would like to get involved, check out https://airbasegeorgia.org/join/

Join us in wishing a happy birthday to the USA that's older than the USA! 😉

Established as the Continental Army on 14 June 1775, the US Army predates the Declaration of Independence by more than a year, making it older than the nation it would help create.

Just two weeks after its 132nd birthday, the Army would begin an aviation lineage that carries through to the present day:

✪ 1 Aug 1907: Creation of the Aeronautical Division, Signal Corps
✪ 18 Jul 1914: Aviation Section, Signal Corps
✪ 20 May 1918: Division of Military Aeronautics
✪ 24 May 1918: Air Service, U.S. Army
✪ 2 Jul 1926: United States Army Air Corps (USAAC)
✪ 20 Jun 1941: United States Army Air Forces (USAAF)

Even after the independent US Air Force was created in 1947, the Army retained an Aviation Branch, which today operates over 4300 aircraft, roughly 4000 of which are helicopters. In fact, the Army operates more helicopters than the air forces of most nations operate aircraft of all types combined. Army Aviation is one of the largest aviation organizations in the world.

Any Army Aviators in the audience?

The P-51D giving a ride at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum last week.

Does anyone know what used to go in the spot that the backseat now takes up?

The P-63 was a big hit at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's WWII Weekend, and now that it's back home, Forest Buchanan and John Miller do the unglamorous work of cleaning and servicing the Kingcobra. For every hour in the spotlight, there are tons more hours of hard work! How about a hand for the maintainers?

Last weekend, we had the great honor of flying a veteran's flag. Jeff Brandenburg brought his grandfather's 48-star flag on a flight at WWII weekend. Jeff was a man of few words about the experience: "What a day!"

Peachtree City selected Major General George B. Harrison, USAF (Ret.), as the Grand Marshal for its 2026 Fourth of July Parade, honoring his distinguished military career and lifelong commitment to veterans and community service.

Please join us in congratulating General Harrison on this well-deserved honor!
