WATCH: Sweet-Sounding Warbird Sounds From EAA Airventure 2017

We’re heading headlong into the winter months and that means airshows and gatherings of warbirds will be few and far between. We know Avgeekery Nation enjoys great warbird action and Oshkosh had some of the best ever seen there this year. From our good friends at AirshowStuffVideos comes this awesome action video shot during the 2017 Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirExpo in Oshkosh. The action is in HD and the audio is great with only minimal radio chatter. Turn those speakers up and enjoy!

The action was recorded adjacent to runway 36 and includes departures, arrivals, and taxiing aircraft of many types including a plethora of North American P-51 Mustang fighters (and those sweet-sounding Merlin engines!) including an ultra-rare P-51B model, the Commemorative Air Force B-29 Superfortress bomber Fifi, a Vought F4U-4 Corsair, a North American B-25H Mitchell medium bomber, a Beech T-34B Mentor trainer, a Beech C-45 Expeditor, a gaggle of North American T-6 / SNJ / Harvard trainers, a CJ-6 Nanchang trainer, and a Grumman (General Motors) TBM-3E Avenger. There’s even a beautifully restored TA-4J Skyhawk trainer wearing Marine Corps Harrier-esque camo.
