‘This conference represents my own
'mental reset' prior to every air show season.
I get important perspectives on safety, maintenance, insurance and policy.
It almost could be mandated as a safety stand down for all air show warbird
operators’.
–anonymous ’08 conference attendee
Founded in 1993, the annual NWOC event brings together warbird owners, operators, and
museum directors to address particular events facing warbird owners and to discuss common
goals related to the ever-changing economics, operations and regulations pertaining to
flying ex-military aircraft.
NWOC focuses on the exchange of ideas and information concerning the safe operation and
restoration of warbird aircraft. This unique educational conference offers programs to
enhance pilot skill and knowledge, expand aircraft maintenance technician and restorer
knowledge, develop awareness of medical and insurance facts, and address aircraft-specific
topics to ensure continued flight for these unique historic aircraft. As one participant
remarked, "…we are not owners of these treasures, but rather caretakers who
ensure that future generations can better understand history." That statement
emphasizes the importance of the
educational goals of NWOC.
