There are many excellent websites available that have air show photos available.  However, my research has shown that there are no other websites that are dedicated to purely focusing on all of the warbirds at an aerial event, as others will include civilian aerobatic and military aircraft or don't do warbirds at all.  This site documents all of the warbirds that attend a show, fly-in, or open house with photos of each.  This includes not only the bombers and fighters that normally get photographed, but the liaisons, trainers and transports also.

Epilogue for 2013:
In 2013 I was able to attend 20 different aviation events, ranging from warbirds giving rides to full blown airshows.  While I was able to visit some old favorites I was able to go to some new events for me at NAS Key West, FL Topeka, KS, Hillsdale, MI, Rome, GA and Peachtree City, GA.  I was also able to get back to the Wings over Houston Airshow after several years. In spite of sequestration there were still many opportunities of events to go to and see warbirds fly.  Actually in many cases sequestration added warbirds to airshow lineups.  Also in 2013 I added one military base to my goal of seeing an airshow at all of the Military Air Bases and Stations in the US.  This was NAS Key West which was one of only two or three military shows that happened due to military budget cuts and sequestration.

Show Time!!!! First Flag Jump of the 2013 season on Friday, March 22 at the Tico Airshow.

"Wall of Fire" at Tico on Saturday, March 23, 2013.  I had the camera fixed on the pyro blast location and was not expecting the A-4 to fly so low.  Also the shutter speed was still set at a longer exposure time to get the prop blur on the T-28s that had just flown through, so the A-4 is just a bit fuzzy.  If I had planned to try and capture the Skyhawk in front of the pyro I probably would have missed it.  This was an unplanned, lucky shot.
