AirVenture is without a doubt
the world's largest aviation event. Held each July in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, this event
is a must-see for aviation fanatics the world over. Warbirds are always a large part of
the show, and we spent a lot of time photographing the action. Here are some glimpses of
the warbird scene at Oshkosh 2004.

The Oshkosh skies are one of the few places
you can see mass formations of vintage warbirds. In this opportunistic shot, a formation
of T-28s and a formation of T-6s cross paths while going in opposite directions. Photo by Buck Wyndham
