Another great Oshkosh in the books. Some rare airplanes I have not seen fly, or do not recall if I did.

What day are your pictures from?

Re: The Unofficial 2016 Oshkosh thread...

Sunny Mars are from Monday, P-64 and P-39 are Saturday. I have about 4000 more shots that are overcast on the days in between:)
I was shocked the P-39 Saturday, they said earlier in the week it was not flying in the show.

Thank you...I was trying to place the days. Thanks for sharing, those are some wonderful shots!

I might have stuck around Saturday to see the P-39 fly. Oh well, great week either way.
