Oshkosh Speculation thread

Thu Jul 21, 2005 10:12 pm

Getting awfully close now. Any guesses to which warbirds will make their first apperance this year?
So far I'd say the some safe bets are:
B-17 Liberty Belle
P-38 Glacier Girl (in one piece)
P-51 Little Horse (Since it was Death Rattler)
FG-1D from Vintage Fighters
Some guesses:
Fighter Factory PBY
Texas Based Spitfire
Chuck Grenhill's Duck And SeaFury
Over to you.....

Surprises at Oshkosh;
1) civilian OV-10 Bronco
2) Flug Werk FW-190 , Frasca's
3) Me-262 replica
4) CHuck Greenhill's J2F Duck
5) Fresh restoration from Kermit Weeks
Not Coming;
Liberty Belle B-17 (I talked to one of the crew)
Fighter Factory PBY (no. talked to pilot)
Fighter Factory B-25.( needs to be flown out of the 2000' grass strip
where it is being restored.)

The first five are guesses, the second three are confirmed.
