A total of 105 P-51 Mustang aircraft from around the world have been confirmed to attend the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends, hosted at the Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, from September 27-30, 2007. Along with these beautifully restored fighters there will also be the men and women that flew them in combat and training.

A total of 47 legends have been confirmed, including Col. Bud Anderson, Gen. Don Strait, Bob Hoover, Lee Archer, WASP, and many other greats from that era.

Event organizer Stallion 51 Corporation believes this year’s gathering will draw 150,000 to 200,000 people per day. The U.S. Air Force is contributing to the event, also, with demonstration flights by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, F-22 Raptors, F-15 Eagles, and F-16 Falcons. Along with the military jet demonstration teams zooming through the Ohio skies, there will also be civilian performers that include Patty Wagstaff, Mike Goulian, the AeroShell AT-6s, Red Baron Pizza Squadron, and many more.

General admission price to the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends is set at $15. Gates will open daily at 8:00 a.m. Mustang flybys, beginning at 10 a.m. daily, will include a formation of 51 P-51s, with a mass formation flyby scheduled to close the show on Sunday.
