Aloha all, I signed up to this forum just to comment on these EAA pics. Being from Oshkosh, i must say, well done.

And also, being from Oshkosh, i can confirm that is the P-51 that crashed. And he actually went down, well setting up to do the missing man formation. Its believed it was a medical problem, possibly heart attack or black out? And the eye witness on the ground, says that with in mins of him going down, the other 3 came back over and performed the missing man formation.

The most P-51s I've ever seen in one place was seven. Nice pics. Such a shame about the loss of the P-51 and its pilot.

There were 2 Corsairs, Dale Snort Snodgrass's and i didnt catch the name/pilot of the other (had green stripes on it though) Snort is one HELL of a pilot. former F-14 pilot, used to fly the F-14/F7F Tigercat "flight of the twin engined cats" routine with the Tigercat from Kal-zoo
