Default Any compound radials still flying?

One of the best things about Oshkosh is the sound of those big radial
engines. Does anyone know if any of the 18-cylinder compound radials
is still flying, and if so, where? If there was one at Osh, where was
it?


I don't know if any were at OSH, but there are a couple of Lockheed Connies
still flying around with the turbo-compound engines. The MATS Connie was
retired to static display in '05, but there are still a couple left.
