The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends
This section is dedicated to two individuals who had
planned to attend the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends but died
earlier this year: legend and triple ace Robin Olds who died on
June 14, 2007, and Gerry Beck who died in his P-51A, Precious
Metal, at Oshkosh on July 28, 2007.
This event was billed as "A Once in a Lifetime
Aviation Celebration." It took place from September 27 to 30,
2007, at Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus, Ohio. The
advertising also claimed 100 Mustangs were expected to attend, along
with P-51 aces, crew chiefs, WASP's, and others.
I attended the event on 9/28/2007. While there were
numerous P-51s in attendance, they did not come close to the 100
mark. You can read my comments on the organization of this airshow
by clicking here. Time did not mellow
my bad impressions. Anyway, please enjoy the images I managed to
get in spite of the poor conditions offered by the event's planners
who charged me $350 for my Legends Club ticket. (General admission
was $15.)
