Can't really see many more Corsair's coming other than the usual five or six that go?


Digressing slightly...

Does a progress/status report exist on the rebuild of John O'Connor's F4U-7, N965CV ?

Many TIA!

I predict a Curtiss will win Warbird Grand Champion.

That's my bet too, although not an aircraft that Curtiss is known for.

B-17G "Yankee Lady" scheduling rides out of Appleton.

CAF schedule appears to be keeping "FIFI" and "Diamond Lil" as possible options as well (at least for now).

Talk continues of the Weeks A-26 and an additional Invader (assuming "Silver Dragon").

The sum of DC-3/C-47 appears to be increasing.

I'm past due for radial saturation.

Friday, July 28
10 a.m.: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 and Douglas A-4B Skyhawk, with Cmdr. Randy “Duke” Cunningham and Cmdr. William “Willy Irish” Driscoll

Huh. Interesting to see that Duke Cunningham has moved on from his prison sentence, and is spending time on the airshow circuit.

I see this on his wiki page:

On January 20, 2021, Cunningham was granted a conditional pardon by President Donald Trump.

I find this very exciting:
"Wednesday, July 26

10 a.m.: Stinson L-5 Sentinel Miss Beverly, with Steve Seal and Chad Hill.
1 p.m.: North American P-51C Thunderbird and Republic P-47D-23R, with Warren Pietsch and Bruce Eames" :supz: :drink3:
The updated by Chuck Cravens from AirCorps have been fantastic, I can't wait to see these two aircraft!
