    One Day, I would like to attend this awesome event. Is anyone able to post pictures or updates?

    I would think it would take some time to cover ALL of the aircraft, and displays!

    I asked Brain Sanders 2 weeks ago if they were ready for Reno, his reply........We are always Ready!

        Good. There's also a very extensive thread with lots of fine photos over on the WIX board.

          I'm posting these later than I had hoped to, but I hope you all enjoy them anyway.

          Here are a few photos from the Thursday Warbird show which could have been title "Merlin Madness"

          And a rarity at Osh; one of the big-time restorations flying in the show!

            Awesome pictures!!!! IIRC Swamp Fox is a pretty recent restoration as well. VERY jealous you got to see some of these Stangs that probably aren't seen too often!!!!

              Thanks! Yeah according to MustangsMustangs it's first post-restoration flight was in 2012, and didn't appear at Oshkosh till 2013 so I'd consider that pretty recent. Swamp Fox is probably one of my favorite Mustangs so it was really awesome to see it fly.

              It was quite the show that day, 15 mustangs in the air plus a Yak and Sea Fury!

              I'll post more after work today!

                  Awesome pictures once again! Didn't know they had a Phantom come, once again very jealous. The F-100 picture is pretty sweet as well, nice work

                    Re: Oshkosh

                    I grew up not being all that interested in jet fighters, since they were in the sky all over the place as there was an active Air Force base in the next county over. By contrast it was a rare treat to see Mustangs, Lightnings, and other WWII iron.

                    But now, decades later, I have to say that the photos of the F-100 and F-4 positively made me drool. They're older now (and less often seen) than the Mustangs and Lightnings were when I was a kid. What I wouldn't give to see a 'Century Series' formation, but some of those types will likely never fly again.

                      Thank you!! Yeah it wasn't a huge announcement -I only found out through one of my Facebook friends.
                      The F-100 & F-4 flights were definitely the highlight for me -especially seeing the 100 light up right in front of me. And thanks again!

                      Here are a couple more of the F-100

                      I felt this one needed some extra motion

                        Same here! Sadly though I think you're right, I've heard rumors that the Oshkosh flight may have been the last public airshow appearance by a USAF F-4.
