G'day everyone,

I'm making my fourth pilgrimage to Oshkosh, from Australia, and this year promises to be a big one. It's the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII plus the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. There are probably more significant anniversaries but I'm not a great student of history.

I have a number of WWII types on my bucket list that I'd love to see at this year's event and I'd like to hear some of yours, please. Here are mine:

1. P-47 Thunderbolt
2. P-39 Aircobra
3. P-63 Kingcobra
4. Ju-52
5. Me-262 Swallow
6. Bf-109
7. I-16 Rata
8. Fw-190 Butcher Bird
9. C-46 Commando
10. I-153 Chaika

My wish list is a little ambitious, I know, but I live in hope that at least a few will make it. Not many sleeps to go until the big week.
