Hey Lon - I have also seen the Fairy Firefly on the web cam as well...

Up to quite a few Mustangs now, including the EAA's XP-51 parked out in the grass near the warbirds in review area. Among the Mustangs is the P-51B "Old Crow", P-51C "Tuskegee Airmen" and P-51C "Lope's Hope 3rd" - first time since the 2007 Mustang gathering that there are as many as four highback Mustangs parked within a few hundred feet of each other.

At least two P-40's spotted so-far (Fagen's E-model, which is for sale, and Thom Richard's TP-40N).

A PBY flew over around noon. I assume it landed.

A PBY flew over around noon. I assume it landed.

The PBY had gear trouble, diverted to Apple and the brakes failed? Stopped and got towed as far as I heard...

[CWH Museum]

Loss of hydraulic pressure for PBY. Landed at Appleton to sort out.

Wow! They brought in two Heritage Flights after the show today and allowed the F-22 and F-35’s to beat up the field for at least 30 minutes. Best use of my tax dollars I’ve seen all year. Can’t wait to see photos.

Yes, I'm seeing the Firefly and the XP-82.
Also see a pair of T-38's.
And some Heritage Flight planes way out in the background

[Roger Cain]

It arrived this evening around 5 pm

Got to check in an XP-82, a P-51H, and Doc, Diamond Lil, & Yankee Lady in one day. Life is good!

Mosquito arrived directly after the airshow too, along with Lewis' P-51 "La Pistolera."
