Fantasy Fighters / Warbird Aerobatics

These companies are run by Larry Salganek here in Santa Fe. These are seriously wonderful operations run by a seriously cool dude. The current stable includes a T-34, Yak-52, SF-260, L-19, T-33, two MiG-15's and my T-5A. I hope to add pictures of all of them here.
Larry Salganek and "Martha the wonder plane" T-34. "Martha the wonder plane" in the hangar.
"Odie", a Yak-52, is great aerobatics trainer. This Siai Marchetti SF-260 is also part of the family.
MiG-15 with empenage/tail removed for annual. This "Midget" is mostly engine. Mr MIG with his pants off.
Jack Delany standing next to MiG-15 engine for scale. Jack stands about 6'-3". MiG-15 batteries in nose compartment.
The second MiG-15 on FF/WA's line. Looks a little rough, but it's mechanically in great shape. "Debbie the Delfin" L-29, the first military jet trainer for me and many other Warbird Aerobatic students.
The newest addition to the line is this immaculate T-33 (actually a C-133) in "Thunderbirds" livery. Pointy end of the T-33 with the SAF tower in the background.
The C-133 is a Canadian version of the T-33. Clean! The C-133 is a big airplane. Antony Nichols stands 6' high.
