Getting up early and heading out about 5am to get sunrise pictures of fabulous airplanes is one of the most satisfying things to do at Oshkosh. My first Dawn Patrol experience at OSH13 was yesterday morning with three other CampBacon avgeeks. It was the Warbird area that we wondered thru looking for just the right combination of aircraft and rising sun. The warm glow of the sun and sometimes stunning cloud formations can sure produce some wonderful images. And if things go well with weather, and my desire to get up early, then I'm hoping to join a Dawn Patrol tomorrow morning thru the antiques!

Hi Martt, Mike here. FJ-4B.... Dad has some stick time in those (when I was in diapers). OSH 2010 we were walking among the aircraft.... he saw this one and had a good time telling stories of learning to toss-bomb at NAS Fallon. She's well cared for.
Did or is the FJ-4B going to fly in the airshow?
Mike Meyer- it really is a well cared for aircraft.
Sam- I haven't noticed it flying this year tho I do remember it doing so in the past.
