Many examples of aircraft that saw service in the various armed forces of the

These Warbirds are a permanent part of our modern history, and they deserve to
be remarked upon and remembered.
This handbook provides a simple checklist of where the surviving military
aircraft in Colorado are located now, along with a few photographs and a brief
history of their service in the US military. This book should spark your

museums and airports of this front range state. Colorado Warbird Survivors is
specifically intended to provide a where are they guide for residents and
visitors to Colorado who are interested in its rich resources of historical
military aircraft. Contact numbers are provided for the museums, should you be

these museums in order to appreciate the rich resources of aviation heritage
