Chris, that's awesome! What a great panel that would be.

Only making one, New Zealand airshow this year but I'll be refreshing WIX, Twitter and Facebook all through Oshweek!

Thanks Chris! I wonder who the "4 other members of mission control" are? (Sorry, but I grew up with NASA & the Johnson Space Center, whaddyawant?)

You may also add Brad Deckert's TBM-3 to the list.

Also, Jim Tobul (as president of FAST) is hosting a couple of meetings Thursday morning. Should we assume he'll bring a certain F4U-4 with him?

Gosshawk facebook link indicates plans to bring the PB4Y-2 to Oshkosh 2015 (and also TOM).

This summer's turning into a Viermot Fiesta for the upper midwest.

Someday.....Someday....... I'll get out there! Always just an unbelievable line up of aircraft. Obviously a must at some point in my life.

[Zac Yates]

I'll have to satisfy myself with photos from here, Facebook, and listening to WarbirdRadio! I keep forgetting the show's coming up so soon.

Zac, a couple of ways you might increase your long-distance experience:

1) http://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=KOSH

Most of these live-audio ATC links are down for much of the year, but are usually up again about a week before (and during) Airventure. The combined North + South KOSH Tower Link (2nd from the bottom) is a personal favorite.


2) http://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-ai ... re-webcams

Even though this link is presently disabled, save it for use in late July. It will/should give you access to multiple webcams located at various spots on the west side of runway 18/36 during Airventure.

Thanks Dan, that's awesome!

John "Taboo" Cummings is from Appleton, WI. so this is a "hometown show" for him. It is a dream of his to fly at AirVenture and he is in town for the Milwaukee show.

We don't have the expanded box this year so he can't do the full demo, that's why its only Heritage Flight.

CAF has posted FIFI's flight schedule for the week:
