OSHKOSH ― It’s a Canadian invasion!

The neighbors from the north will certainly make their presence felt this summer as another Canadian group, Vintage Wings of Canada, is set to showcase three iconic World War II-era planes at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in July.

They’re the latest team from Canada to confirm participation after EAA announced the Canadian Forces Snowbirds will have an aerial demonstration at the 71st edition of the fly-in convention.

The Supermarine Spitfire will be on showcase as part of Vintage Wings of Canada's appearance at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

The planes will be showcased in the warbirds area before flying on selected days in the afternoon airshows.

This year’s EAA AirVenture show will run July 22-28.
