!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was a high water mark for me as I got to see a number of aircraft that I thought I might never see in person. This year, however, is looking like it might just be as good, if not better.

Here is what has already been confirmed for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I feel like they should include the UH-60 in the Desert Storm Commemoration, even if this is primarily a plane event.

Different Junkers J-1 than I’m familiar with... that looks like a modified Jenny to me.

EDIT: It’s a Standard J-1. Similar to the Jenny.

Are those military jets flyovers or static? An F-16 low flyover is just one of the most awesome things ever, beaten only by an F-35 flyover.

They may be. The list of attending aircraft usually fluctuates down to the last minute, especially with current military ones.

The F-16 and -18 are scheduled to do demos as well as static displays. The rest are static.

I need to go to this one year. My dad went back in the 80's with a friend of his who has a Cessna or Piper or something. They flew from Indianapolis to Oshkosh in one shot, then slept in a tent under the wing.

You should. It’s incredible. I’ve been going since the early 90s and I never get tired of it.

My favorite is seeing the F-22 at full stall in an air show. It's the most impressive, noisiest aircraft I've seen.

Nice, I usually go Friday-Sunday, but one of these years I'm going to stay the whole week and try to volunteer some.

We each got a week off from work, so we’re stretching for the maximum within those confines
