Watching the live feed and it sounds like trying to get the Polaris group worked in with all the departures has been a cluster. Hope they're able to do something worthwhile on arrival.

A 2009 Tecnam P2008 (N208TA, s/n 002) landed hard and its wheel broke off at the Wittman Regional Airport.

The Bataan VC-121A Connie finally arrived at Oshkosh this afternoon. Made a beautiful pass in front of the crowd and then landed to go into Boeing Plaza.

The newly restored Razorback P-47D Bonnie finally to the air this afternoon and Bernie Vasquez performed a Great Demo.

Did the U-2 make it today? I know it was on the schedule earlier in the week.

Will anyone be able to post schedules for today and tomorrow? I'll be watching the airshows but not from the grounds, we have a spot near the south end of the runway. TIA
