Thanks for those photos! Any chance the P-51C was enroute to Oshkosh?


Was the Sea Fury still there? Any shots of it?

Thanks.
Al.

There's something to be said for a polished aluminum finish on WW2 aircraft!

Looks beautiful! Thanks for posting. I can't quite remember who's aircraft this is... can someone fill me in? I seem to remember that it's a new-build machine, but would happily be proven wrong.

Cheers,
Richard

So it will now match the paint scheme on his P-51D. These two will look very cool together.

Not only did it "pull into" OSH this morning, it arrived via a sharp looking "heritage flight" with POF's P38 and two really noisy jet things :wink:

They flew a real tight formation down the showline before their break and landing.
