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 2009.
We start out this year's photo essay with the

F-86 Sabre, and a North American P-51 Mustang. Be still, my heart... Photo by Buck Wyndham
