I imagine that the Frecce will, however, do their whole routine in Milwaukee on the 27-28 weekend. North American tour schedule here:

Great news about the VWC participation. Between those two pieces of news today, my attendance at OSH this year just went from probably to for sure.

August

Add B-17G "Yankee Lady".

Also, B-25 "Miss Mitchell" planning to be at Janesville the preceding weekend...I'd guess a good chance for KOSH on the return.

EAA have officially confirmed the participation of the VWoC Spitfire, Hurricane and P-51.

Mid America Flight Museum have confirmed on their FB page their intentions on taking their shiny A-26. I wonder if Kermit's does go, will they try to park the two together?

CAF Airbase Georgia is all in with FG-1D, SBD, P-63, P-51D.

Sheeesshh it's quiet so far this year!

Courtesy of a Q&A livestream a couple of nights ago, AirVenture are hoping to have the latest Mosquito in attendance.

Seems likely as both are in Milwaukee the following weekend.

I see that Fagen is bringing both their new P-47 and Helldiver. I haven't seen the latest update on the Helldiver but it must be close to first flight. Will be great to have another that is air worthy. And I can't wait to see the Thunderbolt. After many years without one at AirVenture it will be a treat to have one again this year after Bonnie's brilliant appearance last year. Fagen is really building out an outstanding collection of some rare planes.

Some speculation on my part... the recently-restored P-51D 'Dallas Doll', which had been restored by Midwest Aero for a British owner, David Nock, was sold back in February to Jon Vesely of Arizona. Vesely has had a history of commissioning and owning other Mustangs restored by Midwest Aero at various times in the past ('Daddy's Girl' - before it was completed, 'Live Bait' and 'Was That Too Fast'). It would seem likely that 'Dallas Doll' would be displayed at Oshkosh this summer.

Is this the reason why Dallas Doll hasn't arrived in the UK?

Yes, based on its change of ownership, I would expect it will be remaining in the US now.

I just saw it yesterday, the outer wings are back off, and still in primer. They've pulled people from other areas to concentrate on finishing it. It sounds like it'll be close.
