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.

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

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

Where's the Beer tent located on Wednesday? One day visit!, one day open bar ...

Roger Cain · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2019 9:48 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."

P-40 "American Dream" also made it in after the show as did another T-33.

The F-22 and F-35 beatup was incredible. Awesome day today.

Here's a rundown from memory:

XP-82
Mosquito
Firefly
Sea Fury
P-40 (2) - Fagen and American Dream
P-51H
P-51B/C (3)
XP-51
P-51D - about a dozen, maybe more
P-64
B-29 "Doc"
B-17 (2) - Yankee Lady and Aluminum Overcast
B-25 (3)
A-26
C-47s - 12+
Albatross (2)
PBY (didn't land at Oshkosh, hope they get their hydraulic sorted out!)
Corsairs (3)
Bearcats (2)
Hellcat
Skyraider
TBM
A-4 Skyhawk (2)
T-33 (3)
FJ-4

That's the major stuff I can think of. Time to rest up for round two tomorrow.
