Warbirds in Review Schedule Announced

June 6, 2018 - The Warbirds in Review schedule of events for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 has been announced, and as always is full of terrific warbirds and notable presenters. Running from Monday through Saturday during AirVenture, Warbirds in Review has sessions both at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Warbird Alley. 

Hosted by the EAA Warbirds of America, these informal sessions not only delve into an aircraft’s restoration, operation, and other aspects of owning a valued piece of history, but also spotlight veterans by sharing stories about what it was like to fly the aircraft in combat or support the operation as a ground crew member.
