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 2007.

The B-24 Liberator, once produced in the tens of
thousands during WWII, is now a rare sight. This example, a
recently-restored B-24A, named "Ol' 927," is flown by the
Commemorative Air Force (CAF). This aircraft was formerly (and famously)
known as "Diamond Lil." Photo by Buck Wyndham
