Along with the Corsairs and Skyraider, on the webcam this morning I see the Zero parked with Kermit's Mosquito. The time difference means it's already close to 4pm OSHtime when I'm at work and able to see the camera, but it still gives me a thrill to see all the activity. Thanks EAA!

Heard a rumor that the BC Mossie may also be attending - putting 3 together on the ground at one time, and two in the air. Anyone hear anything about this?

Started getting my gear ready for the 7+ hour drive on Wednesday to AirVenture. This will be my first time attending!

Any chance of you getting some photo's of any fighters I know the 38 and 40 are there plus how many 51s on the ground.

Oh and if you or Dan could please get some interesting vintage stuff I would be very thankful

Thanks


Expecting about 12-15 Mustangs - most are here now but I don't have photos of all yet. Here's some of what arrived yesterday:

Scat III? Which P-38 got a repaint? Or is this a new restoration that sneaked in under the radar?

Heads up guys... The Fighter Factory posted on their facebook page a video of the Mosquito departing for Oshkosh about 30-35 minutes ago...

It would be amazing if true. My fingers and toes are crossed!

Anyone know if Jack Roush's P-51B "Old Crow" is there, or is going to be there? It would be neat to see both it and "Berlin Express" parked side-by-side - except that I'm sure confusion would ensue, with both having the same tail number (both paint schemes representing the same aircraft at two different time periods during the war).

I think that would actually be a neat opportunity to see am aircraft at different points in its career. Kind of like having profiles drawn for an aircraft with multiple identities.
