Flying into ATW from ABQ and I'm booked in the dorms from Sunday through Saturday. Looking forward to it as it'll be my first.

It's still pending but the F-16 Viper Demo may be coming to Oshkosh in 2018!

Some notable news on hopefuls for a big turnout of early vintage jets this year. Included in the article are Glostor Meteor, DeHavilland Vampire and Venom, MiG-17 and hopes for a large turnout from the T-33 and F-86 communities.

I'm planning on my usual three days (Monday-Wednesday). I've had the hotel booked since August.

I was just writing something up on that, I'm excited but also not getting ahead of myself. It is all too common for planned appearances to fall apart. I don't know how many WHAM jets flew in the show either, so we may not actually see them fly.
Fingers crossed!

In case anyone didn't see this, the 70th Anniversary of the Air Force Reserve is being celebrated with "The Year of the Tanker."

Not sure what could be incorporated besides the KC-10 and KC-135. Perhaps the new KC-46? I don't think the USAF uses the KC-130, although if they're going for a general "tanker" theme it would certainly fit. Maybe we'll get an international appearance from something.

On the Berlin Airlift Heritage Foundations website, both the C-97 and C-54 have listed Oshkosh to their schedule, but they’re both ”not confirmed”

EAA is hyping up a Royal Air Force 100th anniversary celebration at AirVenture 2018. Hopefully we get some actual RAF participation!

The centennial year of the British Royal Air Force will be commemorated with historic aircraft, flyovers, and special programming during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018. The RAF’s 100th anniversary will be celebrated throughout the week, with a primary focus on the centennial on Tuesday, July 24.
“‘Legendary’ is perhaps the best way to describe the gathering of people and airplanes that will be part of the Royal Air Force centennial at Oshkosh this year,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “From the World War I era, to the Battle of Britain and early jets, to today’s modern military aircraft, the RAF has been an integral part of aviation history. We will fully celebrate that during the week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.”
The aircraft on display on the showcase Boeing Plaza and flying during the air show will include an array of World War I and World War II aircraft, some of the early fighter jets as announced previously in the Classic Jets gathering, and modern RAF aircraft. The aircraft will include those in British markings as well as those from Commonwealth nations such as Canada. Specific aircraft attending will be announced as they are confirmed.
In addition, a program at EAA’s Theater in the Woods will devote extensive programming to the RAF centennial on Monday evening, July 23.
The Royal Air Force was formally founded on April 1, 1918, with the merger of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. The service grew and became known for its extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Britain in the early days of World War II, as well as the development of many early fighter jets such as the Meteor and Vampire. The RAF was the first service to use the Harrier jump jet after its development in the 1960s, with RAF aircraft and personnel still on active duty in many parts of the world today.
