Thanks! Like I said, it was a big help last year.

It's looking increasingly unlikely that the XP-82 is going to make it. From another forum:
From an individual who visited the project over the weekend, they are still waiting for paperwork to come back from the FAA to allow them to start flight testing. The paperwork is expected possibly this week, but they will still have to put 25 hours of flight time on it (according to the source) before they can bring it anywhere.

Finally got around to registering here, I'll try to make my first post a helpful one. If you're out at the flight line, usually by about lunchtime the detailed air show schedule for the day will be taped up at the Homebuilt HQ, about halfway between the brown arch and Warbirds.

EAA just announced the XP-82 Twin Mustang will NOT be ready in time too make Airventure. Hardly a surprise as it still hasn't had it's first flight, waiting on FAA paperwork. https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-a ... airventure

Only able to attend on Sunday 29 July. I assume most of the military aircraft will depart on that day. Any chance of getting hold of information on who leaves when, closer to the time? Thanks in advance.

We'll certainly try, but it isn't always available and usually not 100% correct

Made it to some arrivals with Ryan late as the weather cleared. Nice selection of arrivals! Had a mustang, Apache and a nice dc-3 arrive with 87 cessnas and a bunch of bonanzas.
