Warbirds in Review became part of the EAA AirVenture scene in 2003, bringing a close-up look at some of the most storied military aircraft to ever darken the skies. An instant classic, the program immediately expanded from one to two daily presentations, and this year the program has grown again; a total of 19 presentations are scheduled as Warbirds in Review enters its fifth year at Oshkosh.

Two presentations (10 a.m. and 1 p.m.) will be made opening and closing days, July 23 and July 29, and there’ll be three presentations per day Tuesday through Saturday (10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1 p.m.).
