My hopefuls (that have and have not been mentioned)... Texas Flying Legends' P-51C "Lope's Hope III" (it should be there, as I understand), TFL's Bearcat, Reilly's XP-82, Allied Fighter's P-47D "Dottie Mae" (seems as though it could be ready to fly just about any week now?), Collings' Spitfire IX (already confirmed), Lewis' A-20 Havoc (already confirmed), Dixie Wing's P-63 (already confirmed), Slattery SBD, Slattery P-38F, Friedkin's P-51D "Frenesi", Fagen's new SNJ, Paul Ehlen's F4U-4, VWoC's Spitfire IX, B-29 "FIFI" (already confirmed), B-29 "Doc" (all but confirmed it seems), Berlin Airlift's C-97 (just waiting on paperwork to begin flight testing)... maybe in its new ownership, the F2G "Race 57" will make a return to KOSH this year (the current owner had one of their Mustangs at Oshkosh a couple years ago). Anyone know if the TSA/Beck P-51A might be finished/flying this year? I always enjoy coming to see the "regulars" as well.
If Paul Ehlen's P-51 "Sierra Sue II" and Cavanaugh's P-51 "The Brat III" are both in attendance again this year, like 2015, perhaps some magazine publisher/photographer would find it worthwhile to finally get these two in the air together for some photowork/story (both combat-vets, both painted in their original markings, and both served in the same original Fighter Group, operating from the same forward airbases at the same time period late in the war).
Has Slattery's P-38n flown yet? I have kind of lost track
