The PBY is the CWH bird that showed up Monday but had the nose gear fail to come down. They flew over Oshkosh and had a visual.confirmation from the tower. They went out over the lake to work on it and we never heard any more. Now I know where it is. They got her down and I guess chose Appleton for repair location. Their guys can fly commercial to/from there and perhaps that is why they chose Appleton instead of Oshkosh.
Just a guess on my part.

Talking with some people that work in the warbirds area it had hydraulic failure and are waiting on parts. Supposedly Dimond Lil and Fifi are flying out of there for rides. I will try and stop by tomorrow morning and get some shots before heading back to Oshkosh.

Thanks Terry, yeah yesterday was a beautiful day with high of 75 and large fluffy clouds. Feel sorry for Eric today, got super hot today and he is in a tower shooting with very little breeze. We left early as we will be going back for tomorrow's airshow and well trying to rest up for the next 3 days which are supposed to be even hotter.

 

[Gnomey]

Great shots guys!

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Good stuff Paul. I am holed up in a hotel in Indiana. 04:00 wake up to hit the road for the last 8 hours of the drive.
Enjoy the rest of the show!
