Warbird Information Exchange

Here's a few scans from Oshkosh 82 I think when I was in my teens and loving Warbirds

Boy do I miss that airplane. Ross Grady was a regular at the Minnesota Wings shows at Holman Field in the early 90s. I've seen it a few times since at Oshkosh, but its just not the same in silver with the short tail.

That Cavalier is fondly remembered by attendees of the old Mt.Hope shows too...I've got a few nice pix of C-GMUS parked on the line in her FAB finery. Also have a few shots (slides, actually) of her sistership C-GXUQ parked one afternoon at CWH, on her way to Rick Korff and a new ID as "Six-Shooter"...happy times.

Love the picture of Jack Sandberg's P63 Tipsy Miss. I grew up near Crystal airport where he had his hanger and heard and saw her flying over my house all the time. My parents would wonder why I was running for the door all the time.

She was the first warbird I ever saw up close and it was love at first sight.

Some of those are from 1982 (that was the only year Lefty's P-38 was there, I think); others would have to be from 1978 (P-40, P-51H) or other years. I believe 1980 was the last year that that P-63 (at the time named "What Price Speed") appeared. Anyway, nice memories!
