You can see a B-49, a C-47, an AeroCommander, at the West Side entrance to the Fair Grounds.

The 45th Infantry division museum (EAST of town) has several aircraft on display outside, mostly VietNam era, their military collection inside, is superb.

The Wiley Post airport should have at least a few warbirds:
Miss America (don't know if she is there after her accident)
A Russian Yak-9 replica (??)
At least a T-28
A Cessna O-2A

If you head west on I-40 to Mustang and to El Reno, look for US 66 Route. There will be an A-26 at the VFW post in El Reno, and there is also an interesting military surplus store outside of El Reno, with aircraft control wheels, instrument panels and so on.

The airport in Guthrie (North) also seems to have some kind of warbird activity.

I haven't been in OKC in three years, so what I am writing is up for an update.

Good luck!
