Warbird Information Exchange

Chris H. and the bunch from Grissom brought this chunk of B-17 up with them...great way to discourage tailgaters.






The Canucks all made it, save the Swordfish. The story I got was fuel pump gremlins. It still might make it late Thursday/early Friday.

Sadly, no sign of it. I'll ask around Thursday.

Frasca Wildcat arrived late Tuesday (making 4 on field).

Lots of rain headed in that direction today. Probably not much flying going on.

Says video not available because it was removed or due to privacy settings?

Got online down at Registration (since the weather is so nice). Here's a few from yesterday's show:

Fifi dropped in just before the show



WB airshow had formation groups and about a dozen fighters:













Scott Yoak flew a nice Hoover-like routine in Quicksilver



And the show finished up with a nice formation of planes Hoover has used in airshows. I cut off Doug Rozendaal's wing tip







Bob Odegaard nailed the engines-off landing in the Shrike, rolling up to Hoover's feet at show center

They are still promising an airshow today - will believe it when I see it.

Break in the action here in OSH as one of the two F-16's buzzing the field went off the end of the runway and broke the nose. This is probably the worst photo of many to come, but it happened while I was off the front line they evacuated the whole flight line to be safe.



Tower will advise status of the airshow at about 12:25 CDT - pilot apparently stepped out after a few minutes and walked away. Some who did see it said he landed second and showed no sign of being able to slow down. He went around the #1 guy and off the north end, but not far enough to encounter any other aircraft.

Here's a few from last night in the haze - not much one can do in those conditions:











Here's an interesting study in the different wing folding mechanisms:



Here's how humid it is:
