The CAF Atlanta Wings P-51 & P-63 stopped by Creve Coeur at noon today for lunch and to gas the airplanes.
I have pictures on my facebook page. (Sorry, I don't store them on flickr, etc.)

The Boeing YL-15 and Pat Harker's recently restored Search & Rescue Stinson L-5 should be arriving this morning (one year after winning Grand Champion with the L-1), as well as the Harker B-25 "Lady Luck".

As mentioned, the B-29 "Doc" arrived yesterday, and "FIFI" is supposed to be arriving tomorrow (Monday). "Sierra Sue II" should be arriving tomorrow as well. Fagen Fighters has confirmed that they are taking "Sweet Revenge" and their latest addition, the SNJ-4 "Bundle Buggy" (one of the top/most authentic T-6/SNJ restorations to-date). As mentioned already too, a lot of T-6's/SNJ's/Harvards are supposed to be arriving this afternoon, scheduled for 3 pm.

Edit: The CAF P-63A, P-63F, and P-39Q have all just arrived.

With the Blue Angels being there, how much of the crowd line will be affected because they push it back some 100 ft or so? I am only going to be at OSH on Friday and Saturday and I know they have a practice Friday morning as well as a show Friday and Saturday. I would like to get to the jet warbird ramp but it definitely looks like it is inside of the crowd line so I won't be able to get out there for most of the day. How much does it affect the rest of the grounds?
