Unfortunately the F-15s that buzzed the field around 11 today got me by surprise. What variant and squadron were they from?

I wasn't able to post Friday pics because my laptop was being a pain in the ass lol. So here are Saturday's pics. The F-15s were from New Orleans.

The MiG-29 was so cool. He even lit the burners!

The Legacy Flight during the twilight show was f-ing awesome!

The 1989 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29UB Fulcrum (N29UB) owned by JDI Holdings LLC. and Jared Issacman departed during Sunday's ait show.

This aircraft used to belong to Vulcan Aircraft Inc., Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, and Paul Allen before being sold in November 2019.

Just in case you weren't sure what the star of the show was, our last three videos are all MiG-29 lol







I appreciate everyone sharing photos!

I was told that the CF-5 might be owned by David Ellison and not Lewis Air Legends. Anyone able to track that down?

Excellent event as always. From what I read, record breaking crowds with international representation and record numbers of aircraft. So cool to see the MiG-29 fly as much as he did.

F-35 air power on full display with the AF and Navy. Amazing.

Thanks to all those who work so hard to make this possible.

My third Oshkosh and I'll never not enjoy the event. Every year there's something different and something memorable and, for me, this year was the Mosquito, Lysander, Grumman Cats, Naval aircraft and the Sikorsky H-53.

As for the airshow, I think this was the worst I've ever seen it and Oshkosh's is usually pretty bad compared to other events. The USAF 75th anniversary was a total disaster. No bombers, no transports other than the pretty average C-17 Demo. Only one A-10 doing a simulated airfield attack where I remember four one year. No tactical demonstrations from any aircraft. I thought it was really poor.

In contrast, the Navy stole the show. Growler and F-35C demos were outstanding and it was great to see the Navy Hawkeye pair. They really did show up the Air Force.

But EAA really need to think about where their priorities are at. Too many of the same old aerobatic performers that get too much of the spotlight compared to wasteful, high passes from the warbirds. It was great to see Jerry Yagen's warbirds fly during the show but they were too far away for the crowd to truly appreciate. Instead, we got several passes from T-6's and Yaks. Likewise, two passes from the F-86 and MiG-17 'dogfight' compared to endless formation passes from the soulless L-39's and S.11's. EAA Warbirds' prerogative is to make sure we 'keep 'em flying' but how can we do that if the Airboss isn't interested in letting these warbird pilots show off their aircraft to inspire the next generation?

Things need to change for next year.
