I never heard what happened to the pair of P-47's that were supposed to show up this year. One was supposed to be in Warbirds In Review.
Obviously like in years past something almost always comes up. Weather, mechanical?

The P-47's were stuck in Tennessee do to weather.
You can watch this 2017 EAA Warbirds In Review video with Deke Holman who flew both the C and the P 47.
In the beginning of the video they explain why the planes could not make it.
Friday, July 28:
Friday 10:00 P- 47 Thunderbolt Deke Holman served during World War II as a C-47 copilot on D-Day, later transitioning to the P-47. He retired from United Airlines flying the B-747 so he says he has always flown 47s. The two P-47s that will be on display are owned by John Shoffner and Neal Melton. Deke Holman was part of the air show red shirt team for many years and is a very special friend to many Oshkosh volunteers. It will be fun to recognize DekeÂ’s service while learning about the P-47.
