2007 Gathering of Mustangs and Legends

Post by MIKE JG »

Great airshow that the wife and I attended this past weekend.

We counted over 70 P-51 Mustangs present!

Videos are starting to roll in, here's a good one:

I'm putting together some video clips and images that I managed to capture. I will post them later.

Mike, you just made me drool on my freaking keyboard :shock: I don't care what anyone says nothing sounds a good as a purring Mustang 8) who were the legends that showed up, I've been lucky enough to meet Lee Archer (Tuskegee Airman and recently confirmed ace) but would still love to meet Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson before its too late

I've still got to throw together a video with all the warbirds including the Mustangs in it. May get to that tomorrow.

I talked to a Mustang pilot coming back from the show in Columbus. He said they had 92 P-51's there.

Des, here's a good article about the show:

GOML

Also instead of me going through all the effort of downloading, cropping, resizing, uploading and posting all the still images I took, look below for images from the show, they're way better than the ones I took. :?
