For the Warbirds show today, it's going to be jet day with 3 x F-86s, 3 x T-33s, MiG-17, A-4, and Alpha jet. Should be a great show!

Looks like the Blues won't be doing the diamond flight survey today. There seemed to be a minor incident during taxing for take-off. Hopefully more info will become available.

Blues have rescheduled their circles for 8pm CDT. If anyone is on the show grounds still or in the area, you will get a chance to see them!

Day 4 at Oshkosh was unique. Jet warbirds, the Blues having to fly at dusk for their site survey and Stan Lee's arrival! Here are some pics:

Final two for tonight. The USAF Heritage Flight paid tribute to Vlado Lenoch with a missing man formation.

Rest in Peace, Vlado.
