Member's Mustang Thread.

[Njaco]

Ok, so here is the deal....

We all go to airshows.

I assume that the P-51 Mustang is probably the most common fighter plane around at these shows.

We like to take pictures.

So, whenever anyone goes to an airshow this year, get a pic of a P-51 and post it here. I want to see how many different Mustangs there are and also we can track a few as they move about the country.

To get the ball rolling, here is a pick of myself, B17Engineer and Toughombre at Reading in 2010.

Lets have some fun!!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Good idea, I will post up mine when I get home later.

 

[T Bolt]

Great Idea Chris! Haven't been to an air show in a while so all mine are 35mm prints. I'll have to dig them out this weekend and scan them.

Great idea...but a scary one (I've close on 3000 +pics of the '51 taken at various shows here in the UK and the States, including the GOML 2007 event) as this could be a very big thread !. I'll put these ones forwards for starters

...Glenn, bit of a no-brainer really !.


Here's a few...OK, more than a few ...of some of the 70 plus '51s that attended the GOML 2007. Just the nose art for the moment.

 

[Njaco]

Florence, I had to re-size those pics! Its was taking 30 minutes to load the page!

We're off to a great start! Now, throughout the year, if we can get pics with the members in them, at the show!

 

[Rocketeer]

Eric...fantastic.....!

All others good too

 

[pbfoot]

Well that covers that

 

[Gnomey]

Leuchars Airshow 2005, no flying pictures I'm afraid as they are all too noisy. So only these 2 on the ground.

 

[woljags]

Ok Gary, I have to ask.

Whats with the beer cans on "Precious Metal"?

 

[ozhawk40]

Mustangs aplenty at Chino 2010. I'll be attending 2012, and hopefully there will be as many to view.

 

[evangilder]

I was also at Chino 2010. That was one heck of an opener with the the A-36 Apache leading 10 'Stangs. What a sound!

 

[GrauGeist]

Unfortunately, we don't have the huge arishows up here in Redding like alot of you folks do, so my collection of Stangs is almost pitiful.

But I'll contribute what I have:
