That’s a serious event. Would be cool if they could get some Mustangs to escort.

I’m sure there will be a bunch of other warbirds in the air at the same time.

It’s not like they’ll have any trouble finding a few sitting around.

Getting to stand inside FIFI last year was quite possibly the coolest historical thing I’ve experienced

Everybody’s talking about the B-29s, and I’m just amused at all the VeriEzes in the foreground.

Can’t go 10 feet without seeing one at Oshkosh.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Eze or EZ in person, though I have seen Bockscar and been in FIFI, though not Doc (yet!).

I worked at a small airport that was a refueling stop for a “race” for home built aircraft on their way to Oshkosh. I didn’t learn what most of the models were but many made the EZ look almost normal by comparison.

One interesting thing I saw was several of the EZ’s had fiberglass pods under the wings shaped like drop tanks. They were pods to stuff extra clothes into.
