Wow...all very good guesses (And some I'd love to see there) but the pony is still locked in the stable.

Warbird, WWII, foreign (If you live in the US!)

How about the PoF Peashooter or AT-12? Not sure the Peashooter really qualifies as WWII but it did participate in some limited capacity. Both of these meet all of the other criteria I think.

Scratch that last post, just saw the "foriegn" part. How about the Tilamook Oscar?

VWoC Lysander or Swordfish? if the engine is overhauled in time...

...not sure if Bob Spence ever took the Swordfish to Oshkosh, though...

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Mig-3?

Re: Oshkosh Rumors...

Tilamook Oscar gets my vote......

or.....

Cavanaugh's Heinkel (Casa)?
The Vancouver based Spitfire Mk14?

It's the rarely flown thats getting me. Are you saying that it is the TYPE or the SPECIFIC AIRFRAME thats never been to OSH?
