Anyone know how many P-40s attended at Oshkosh this year ?
Anyone have any detailed pics of Fagen's P-40E ?
Thanks

I've counted 5 P-40's on the photos posted by Al:
- P-40E AK753 (41-36206?) Ron Fagen / Warhawks Inc. - N4420K.
- P-40N 42-104827 Mike Potter / VWoC - C-FVWC.
- P-40E AK905 Rudy Frasca - N40PE.
- P-40N 42-105861 John Fallis - N49FG.
- P-40N 42-105867 Commemorative Air Force - N1226N.

I'm quite certain I saw the Fighter Factory example heading South on the Western-most taxy way (just north of Aero Shell Square, on Wednesday, but did not grab a picture of it, thinking I would see it again...

Again, I would like to clarify that Zack and I were merely serving as chaperons during the evening recruitment drive, as instructed to do so by Mrs. B and Mrs. K.

Sorry I don't have any pics of ladies but I did find a little time tonight to work on some pics so here you all go.

Okay, two more. First one is the EAA Air Museums Duck.
I'd have tried repositioning to get the tail looking better but I had just received the news I was going up in a Mustang the next morning and chose to go home for some sleep instead.

Nope. They were nice and left her in the hangar.

Hmm. Marge, the Mosquito, and the Duck were all outside on Tuesday. Of course, they were having an event in the "Eagle's Hangar".

Al, you're talented! You need to start getting paid for your photography! I'll start by ordering a print of the P-40 - what a shot!
