AirVenture never fails to bring rare and unique acts and events, and this year was no exception. For warbird enthusiasts, the only disappointment was the lack of the highly-anticipated XP Twin Mustang.
Unfortunately the airplane did not make Oshkosh, because it had not yet made its first flight; however, warbird enthusiasts were delighted by many other amazing vintage military aircraft. This Spitfire is a stunning representative of the breed, and was largely restored by Vintech Aero, Vintage Wings in-house restoration shop. She won Reserve Grand Champion at AirVenture , which is no small feat, given the competition she faced. This recently imported aeroplane is owned and operated by the World Heritage Air Museum.
The appearance of the Meteor was especially poignant, due to the tragic loss of her owner, Marty Tibbitts, in the crash of his deHavilland Venom shortly after departing for Oshkosh on July 20th.
