warbirds

Restored combat aircraft

Warbirds are vintage military aircraft, typically from World War II or earlier eras, that have been preserved or restored to flying condition.

The term applies especially to fighter planes and bombers maintained by collectors, museums, and aviation enthusiasts who display them at airshows and commemorative events.

Several warbirds flew in formation over the memorial ceremony.

In video games, warbird often refers to any military combat aircraft, historical or fictional.
