Attending and filming at the popular war bird events is a great idea IMO. My guess is that guys would be happy to participate. I know I would.
Well, there is the West Texas Warbirds event to be held in Abernathy, Texas (north of Lubbock, Texas) on August 6-8, 2010. Put on by Wings Miniature Aircraft Society. Check out the Warbirds of OK thread and you will see some promos that have been upload there.
