No suprise there. Now I hope they fly that P-40 to Reno for the Rolls Royce Heritage competition, and give all of us photogs a chance for shot shots without all the OSH crap in the background.

[N3Njeff]

Any pics of the award winners????

[ww2John]

Look at the other OSH threads for m-a-n-y pictures, although, in a few cases, you have to figure out which a/c is which and which ones got the awards.
The Lysander and the L5 are the easiest two to figure out.

I really want to see Taigh's "bird"!

[Lynn Allen]

The P-40 was a easy choice and well done Taylor....

[Holedigger]

Hint, the Lysander's paint job is unique! Makes it easier to find in the parking lot!!!

[Zachary]

Way to go Brandon and Justin Deuel! You guys at Warhawks Inc. deserve the win. The pierced steel planking was a really nice touch! Well done guys!

I went to the banquet but can't remember, does anyone recall what award Tom Wood received? It was an appreciation award, but I don't remember the name of the award itself. Can anyone help the old and senile Trey?

Tailwinds, it was the best OSH ever!

Trey

[t6flier]

Hi Trey,

As I recall it was just that, an appreciation award for all of his years of dedication and service to EAA Warbirds of America.

Good seeing you up there!
