The Oshkosh ATC and show freqs are available on LiveATC.com. We had an entertaining 1.5 hour drive home today listening to some superb controllers handling high volume arrivals on Oshkosh South Tower. Just got home. Only MilAir I heard was Giant-4356 Heavy, which landed at about 2300z. Type unknown.

Giant sounds like Atlas Air 747 callsign but found nothing on 4356..
Watching cam Panchito a local B-25 out of Georgetown airport Delaware is up there along with a Boeing Dreamlifter N718BA.
OK freq hop has it correct.. Big plane to squeeze in there

HMX ONE is a squadron not an aircraft/helo, the helos fly many VIP missions besides playing taxi when POTUS travels to the airport, Camp David or other places.

Giant4366 (GTI4366) N718BA 747 Dreamlifter

I dunno the minimum takeoff distance for an unloaded Dreamlifter, but the distance at maximum load is 9,199. Rwy 36 at KOSH 8,002 feet long and the weather is hot and humid. I hope the lady who landed this thing yesterday has brushed up on her short field takeoff routine.

Thanks for confirmation. Only the lead acft was noted speaking. Just before the fly over ADS-B showed three acft, but then only lead acft showed after that.

Thanks. I didn't hear anything on 279.575, because I checked my scanner and found that I had 279.525 loaded in I have correct freq loaded in now.

ADSB is saying that there is a French C-130 doing Hudson River runs, CTM1409. However it's only going about 130-140 knots.

Annnd you can knock that speculation out the window, EarthCam is showing a C-130, something is also behind it that looked like a helicopter when it got closer.
