Congrats to Paul, Gerry and crew for a job well done!

The 2005 Oshkosh Warbird Awards have been posted see Warbirdnerd's link above then look in the top left corner. Looking at the list----at the bottom, the last 2 are; Judge's Choice: Phoenix Award Politically Incorrect Markings. Can somebody tell me just what the h-ll politically incorrect markings is supposed to be? I am a pretty much a politicaly incorrect kinda guy, but I guess I'm a BOZO cause I ain't figured this one out. Now on a serious note --- congratulations to the winners! :lol:

Was the FCH Mustang not entered? Can't imagine that one coming out empty handed.

Interesting, same top 2 in post-WWII as at Sun n' Fun, with the T-28 coming out ahead of the F-86 again.

And Glacier Girl WWII Grand Champion again, as at Sun n' Fun.
