1. Gathering of Mustangs and Legends 2007 By Larry Wilcox

3. The show started with the National Anthem and the Red Baron Stearman squadron flying around the flag.

4. Since we have been here with our grandsons, we have tried the Red Baron Pizza and it is actually pretty good.

6. Lee Lauderback and Crazy Horse are airshow staples. Lee was one of the driving forces behind the Gathering. You can buy a ride in this plane in Florida.

7. One of my favorites was Princess Elizabeth, a P-51C from Philadelphia. Jim Beasley owns this plane and also Frenesi and Bald Eagle, both P-51Ds. Being a lawyer must pay pretty good. There are about 4 or five P-51 pilots that are a cut above the rest and Jim Beasley is definitely one of those.

8. P-51C “Princess Elizabeth”

9. Hell-er Bust was one of the ones you could eat off of. It was spotless.

10. Dusty’s Dolly was a little more rustic, probably more accurate than the highly polished P-51s.

11. They had single ship demos from the F-16, F-15 and F-22. The F-16 had a single P-51 Heritage Flight.

12. F-16 Heritage Flight

13. F-15 Heritage Flight

14. F-22 Heritage Flight

15. P-38 Lightning called Ruff Stuff. Glacier Girl was also there, but did not fly.

16. Bell P-63 King Cobra.

17. P-47 Thunderbolt

18. You have heard of the F-82, Twin Mustang? I guess this is a Twin Thunderbolt.

19. P-51D Old Crow. Most of the P-51s represent actual aircraft. Old Crow was flown by Col. Bud Anderson, who shot down 16 ¼ enemy aircraft.

21. Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.

22. Avro Lancaster Bomber. One of two flying in the world.

23. Avro Lancaster

24. B-25 “Pacific Prowler”

25. B-25 “Axis Nightmare”

26. B-17G Yankee Lady. It is amazing to hear how many of these were lost and each one had a crew of 10!

27. On Saturday, Yankee Lady was “hit” by flak while bombing and an engine smoked for awhile. This was an interesting show. You could almost feel what it must have been like.

29. P-51D “Hurry Home Honey”

30. P-51A “Polar Bear”

31. P-51D “Red Dog XII”

33. P-51D “Twilight Tear”. This plane came from England for the show.

34. P-51D “Sizzlin’ Liz”

35. P-51D “Obsession”

36. P-51D “DiamondBack”

37. Some of the P-51s taking off for the finale.

39. Twenty P-51s in formation. I didn’t stay for Sunday so don’t know how many were up for that one.

40. The last pass on Saturday. It was a really good show.
