Go over to Air Show Buzz © - Get the latest news on Air Shows Aviation, lots of pics and a few vids from the gathering over there. Hope to post some pics as soon as I can re-size them and hopefully recover some more from a Digital memory card I formatted by mistake.

Cool! 8) Nothing like plopping down at the computer desk with a bag 'o microwave popcorn to watch some P-51 clips.

Thank you Greg for the link you posted...

Does someone of you know if there´s (or will be) an official DVD from GML released? I´d like to buy it.

Thanks

Very true. Hey Eric, did you make it to the Mustang show? I was hoping you would since you take great pictures.

Thanks, but at the time to make travel arrangements, it wasn't in the budget. I am starting a reserve cash account for these types of events for the future. I still have a few items to get to complete my whole kit, then I will be expense free, aside from travel and food, and any replacement items.

Seesul, I did overhead that there will be a DVD produced. Person said they had pulled each of the Mustangs into one of hangars one by one to take pictures and videos. He said it may take them up to a year to produce the DVD though;( Keep an eye out on the AirshowBuzz Link I put on my previous post as they hosted the event, or go to the link for the event as I'm sure it will be listed there once it is available.

The picture's I have seen look great, Those Mustangs look so cool flying in formation.

I wish I could have been there.

Does anybody what the biggest formation of Mustangs there was? And maybe have a picture of it?

They flew 20 on Saturday, made a giant 51 in the sky. Not sure what the count was on Sunday as I was not there. They were going to put up 51 Mustangs on Sunday, but that fell through. I think it was 20 again though?

Here's a nice picture:

Nice, that was a pretty neat formation. Got a simular pic as well. Still trying to recocover pictures from a memory card I accidently formatted at the show.

Susil: Those youtube pic's are great. The first two P-51's looked like
they're glued together. Great flying....

In the P-51 Mustang "51" formation, there is one lone dark painted Mustang. He is the fifth plane down of the "5" formation.

Is that possibly Old Crow?

 

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

Actually I made a mistake, they are all silver mustangs. They only flew the "51" formation once I think.

Here's a video:
