Some more photos of classic vintage jets (other than L-39's!) would be most welcome. Hopefully some in-flight jet photos too!

I intentionally DIDN'T take many jet pics (figured I'd be run through by multiple rapiers if I did :shock: )

No problem on the request though. Many static vintage jets parked outside the museum this year.

Here are a few shots of a Stinson Reliant which served in the Royal Navy in India during World War Two.

NO problem on the jet photos. From what I have seen and heard from other sources the overall vintage jet count is down from what it was when I went in 2010. Maybe there will be a few more coming, but it looks like it may not equal 2 years ago when at one time or another during the 5 days I went to the show, I remember seeing 6 T-33's, 2 A-4's, the Collings F-4D, 2 MiG-21's, 3 F-86's, the FJ-4B Fury and an Alpha Jet. And of course the L-39's which I generally ignore.

Yes, and there are the static jets parked around the museum. They are nice, but not the same thing as vintage jets that FLY into the air show and sometimes fly in the air show.

More from Oshkosh and Warbirds Alley:
Having a great time, a little rain and a lot of heat. Some nicely restored Mustangs and some WW2 Navy actors.

Try this link. It will hopefully at least lead you to some rough pics.

Rough??? those are sweet.... If you can get some of the P-51 The Brat III please, maybe a night shot.... Thanks

I'll do what I can. Most of the Mustangs have canopy covers on at night which kinda lessens the effect of the shot. I got some of it during the show today and will put one up just for you!

Great stuff from everyone and much appreciated! The kid in the pedal car shot better watch out, if 'HIMSELF' is in attendance, he'll bring in a bus load of lawyers over the nose art. :lol:

Well, thanks to the annual visit from Mother Nature last night I got home early and added quite a few shots. Check 'em out. (And note: I set my facebook to allow public viewing so you don't need an account to see them).
