Rare warbirds to depart Edwards Ranch

[Niehart]

Hang around aircraft restorers and you’ll inevitably hear tales of priceless historical relics hidden in barns, buried in shrink wrap, or otherwise stuck in time awaiting discovery.

These stories are almost always wild exaggerations or outright fiction. But if you’ve ever heard of the cache of iconic warbirds at Wilson Connell “Connie” Edwards’ west Texas ranch, it’s absolutely real.

Amazing footage of Me 109s—and the interview with Connie Edwards was priceless. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. Sent this on to a recently retired coworker who is spending his retirement building an experimental aircraft.

A comprehensive video documentary on this would be very cool.

Thanks for posting!
