It would be fantastic if Kermit's A-26 was finished in time to attend Oshkosh. My wish list of aircraft that seem like somewhat realistic attendees:
Tom Reilly XP-82
John Dowd P-51A
Texas Flying Legends P-51C and F8F
B-26K "Special Kay"
BAHF C-97 "Angel of Deliverance"
There may also be a F4U-7 Corsair sporting a cool, new paint scheme. The owner has been to Oshkosh with his other aircraft before. I'm also hoping Jeff Kaney will bring his new F-5.
Oshkosh does appear on the latest version of the F-16 Demo schedule, which was posted yesterday.
This will be my fourth year in a row. I will probably also be going to the Sheboygan T-28 and CJAA event in addition to attending Oshkosh Monday-Wednesday. Looking forward to another awesome year!
That is a good list of cool stuff. That said, I think the odds of Dusty bringing his A model are pretty slim. Why do I say this? Because he told me so. Its not that he doesn't want to bring it, its a matter of $$$$ and time. The plane is stunning and I was thrilled he agreed to roll the plane out at Reno so I could do a photo shoot. (See the Reno photo thread for my pics) I have no doubt it would be in the running for an award.
