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.

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"!

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

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

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!
