Well, we have a fair collection of warbirds sitting in hangers here. A couple of P51s, a Zero, a Skyraider, Mig-21 and F-89, T6F/T6D Texans, a T-34, a Stearman, a Skymaster, Birddog, and Grasshopper, and a few others I am forgetting. All properly defanged at the moment. No jet fuel on-island for the Mig and such, but that's life.

The Sheriff's department has two outboard-powered utility boats.
