Just an AirVenture update to wet your appetite for those who are interested...

Here is what I know to date:

F-18, F-16, C-12, T-1A, KC-135, P-51 "Quicksilver" (the one that visitors can touch and sit in), and Red Bull Helicopter are confirmed.

Here are some maybes:

CAF Zero, Hellcat, SB2C, B-24
Glacier Girl
newly restored Spitfire (Rod Lewis)
Lonestar B-17 and B-25
P-51B (Rousch)
MV-22 tiltrotor
And possibly a UAV or two flying in....

Zack

Glad to see the Helldiver is coming back. I have yet to catch that beast in the air.

Can't wait till AirVenture 08. I'm hoping the increased cost of fuel will not hamper the attendence this year.

If anyone gets word of any more WW2 Vintage Brit aircraft attending I would love to know about it.

Be nice to see a couple of well known FW-190's and a certain Me-262 all together in flight. 8) 8) 8)

Cold War Air Museum will be attending. Currently the L-39s (3) are confirmed, possibly 1 or 2 CJ-6As, an AN-2, and (if we're ready) the Mi-24.

Can't wait to see all of you again this year. Zach's party is a must. So much fun. Also, Bear says he is taking me to a must see tent of some sort.
