Since 2005, Warbirds Unlimited Foundation has been pursuing its mission to establish and maintain a collection of WWII historic military aircraft as a symbol of our American Aviation Heritage and to educate the general public of our American Aviation Heritage through aircraft flight displays, flight demonstrations, flight experiences and static displays.
From 2005 through 2009, Warbirds Unlimited operated the world’s only flying B25H Mitchell from Mesa, Arizona’s Falcon Field. The aircraft (owned by the Weary Warriors) served as a platform to educate the general public about American aviation contributions in WWII and to provide flight experiences to the general public and many surviving members of “Our Greatest Generation”.
The B25H restored in the likeness of R. T. Smith’s B25H, BarbieIII of the 1st Air Commandos, facilitated comradery and friendships with surviving members of the 1st Air Commandos and allowed Warbirds Unlimited to assist them in a local group reunion:

While operating BarbieIII, Warbirds Unlimited supported numerous flying and static displays, airshows, and special events in Arizona, Colorado, California and New York. Through these events Warbirds Unlimited continued to educate youth, reconnect veterans and inspire interest in American aviation heritage:
When the B25H was eventually sold by the owners, Warbirds Unlimited was already working on the next project, restoration of the 1942 Boeing Stearman. As a primary trainer in WWII the Stearman was the first aircraft many WWII pilots encountered in their flight training:
Completion of the Stearman by Warbirds Unlimited was followed shortly with the acquisition of the 1943 AT-6. The North American AT-6 was the typical progression for aviation cadets from primary flight training in the Boeing Stearman into Advanced Flight Training:
Warbirds Unlimited continues to pursue its mission through educational exhibitions at aviation events, supporting veteran and civic charitable organizations and events, promoting veterans contributions and their stories through our "Honor Roll" profiles and promoting interest and education in our American Aviation Heritage.
Warbirds Unlimited seeks dedicated and interested persons (over 18 years of age) who will voluntarily work towards and contribute to the success of the Foundation.
