The Unofficial Oshkosh 2019 Thread

[BK]

Looking forward to Oshkosh 2019!

Any news on the U-2 flyover rumor?

What is the skinny on the P-51 run up?

With Doc and FiFi there, any chance they'd put them up together?

U2 flyover and possible touch n go mentioned on webinar but nothing said on which day it would happen.

P-51 mass run up, I assume like the one in 2015 that had 14 Stangs lined up.

Doc will be at Airventure and Appleton (Wed/Thu) selling rides. Fifi will only be in Appleton (Tue-Fri) selling rides. They might share the air but I highly doubt they will be in formation together.

Via the live cams, A-26 with 21 on the tail, haven't seen it before I don't think. Could this be the surprise A-26? N# ???

*sorry, this is 26BP, forgot they repainted it

A U2 overflight and possible touch and go, I know exactly where I'll be standing for that. I'm already assigned to the warbird area, that is right at the end of the runway.... Since I'm shooting for the EAA, I should have clearance to be at the end of the runway as I did last year. Hello head on U2 takeoff shot!

I'll also have awesome access for the P51 gathering and runup.

Now that I know what to expect at Oshkosh, I know how and where to shoot it from. I'm looking forward to an epic week of shooting, starting tomorrow evening.

Nice. How will the P-51 runup be setup? Between 18-36 and the crowd line?

Just an FYI, campgrounds at Oshkosh have all been declared “slow, no wake”.

[k5083]

Yep, and the field has effectively been closed since mid afternoon, with no turf parking since it took so much rain. Tomorrow's ATC will be a zoo. Great forecast for the coming week though.

I'm thinking, depending on how many show up, they might do something similar to what they did with the T6s last year. I highly doubt there will be that many P-51s however.

I made an inquiry about the U2 and its only a rumor. So much for that one. Perhaps a takeoff shot of Rod Lewis's Mosquito? XP-82? We'll see what presents itself.

What is it that they did with the T-6s last year? I wasn't there that day.

I seem to remember they filled Scott's Warbird Alley with them and then did a runup , kind of like the B-25's the year before

[JohnTerrell]

The B-25H "Barbie III" is on its way to Oshkosh right now. Although not configured as such, the EAA's B-25 "Berlin Express" is also an H-model, thus the only two flying B-25H's in the world will be both at Oshkosh this week.

Day One.
