warbird pilot - John Collver. He may only fly the T-6, but he's training me to fly it which makes him the top warbird pilot on my list! Up there on the list include, all the CNO pilots (Steve, John, Johnny, Kevin, etc.), Dave Morss, all the Hollister gang, Jim Michaels, etc
Favorite warbird owner: by far is Duncan Miller based at Nut Tree airport in Vacaville. This guy owns his own fleet of aircraft (C-47, T-28s, Stearmans, BT-13, PV-2, S-2, Cub, Stinsons, and I'm probably forgetting a few) and he's always happy to give visitors a tour. Another one of the oft overlooked greats!
restorations - Bill 'Tiger' Destefani's shop. I know the restorations in Chino are top notch, but guys like Bill do a great job as well and often get over looked. So, let's not forget the lesser known folks. Also high on the list for restorations are all the other restoration shops on the field in CNO, and the guys in Ione who do all the Sea Furies.
