Hi All,

Had a chance to stop by for a revisit of the EAA Museum in Oshkosh. I’ve posted a gallery of primarily the Eagle Hangar with the Hispano hung from the ceiling, the Boeing YL-15 and the AWESOME CAF Nose Art displays.

I want the Boeing!!!

Is that the one from Alaska that we've heard about (and was for sale in Trade-A-Plane about 20 years ago?).

Excellent pictures, thanks for sharing. I'll be visiting in September for the first time and am looking forward to it.

This one has been in the Brunquist family since 1954. He won Post WW2 Grand Champion and a Golden Wrench at Osh 2017 with this bird. He left it on display at EAA until he'll be back for 2018 Osh. IIRC, Pat Harker bought the one your thinking of, as well. I say as well, because he's having a small wing of YL's and the XL-15 restored. I think 4 in all. :shock:

Anyone know how made the B-17/B-29 nose art pieces on the far wall in the background? They're clearly not from the CAF collection but they look great!
