Those of you outside of Columbus may not be aware, but we hosted perhaps the most unique airshow in aviation history this weekend. It was called the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends. Besides the normal air show stuff this one featured 100 Mustang P-51s and a lot of their original pilots from WWII including many of the Tuskeegee airmen who trained at the airport we were at. The link above shows some of my photos.   Some of my favorites are the heritage flights that featured modern fighters being escorted by Mustangs.

I think we walked 5 miles today.  I'm heading to the tub.

   Great pics, you must have had a good day.  My grandfather flew a spitfire in WW2 and I have always be fascinated by vintage aircraft.

I was there Saturday from 10 till about 4. What a great show, the F22 Raptor is truly amazing. Got a little too sunburned for the tub though!

Only on my face so I was good for the tub.  Did you see a fat old guy walking around in a black T-shirt that had the Anchor Bar on it?

The Ohio  Highway Patrol and the Franklin County sherrifs tried to keep me from going, but I made it anyway.

Didn't see him!  ;D

The traffic getting there was horrendous. I rode my cycle and was baking. I liked the "security checkpoint". You couldn't sneak beer through in a kid stroller, but since I wasn't carrying anything worth searching, walked right by with a hearty good morning and a Wilson Combat KZ 45 compact in the small of my back.

Tried to get my buddy to take it run towards where the F22 was (all by it's lonesome under guard) and scream JIHAD but he is apparently smarter than he looks.

Bill,

Those are great photos!!!  
Thanks for sharing them.  
Mind if I forward them to some pilot friends
of mine?  
One of my pilot friend's a stunt pilot and his wife a wing walker.
I love flying, but not that much!!

By all means.  Wing walker? :-[  I have a horrible fear of heights.
