Victor - glad you're going to be there.

I'd like to put in a request that you shoot a nice panorama of the formation flight. I figure your camera can probably shoot a zillion frames a second! I've been torn on whether to concentrate on getting good stills or good video - I'm sure my hands will be shaking (I'm a P-51 fanatic - see avatar).

I booked a room at the Baymont@Rickenbacker the instant they would allow it last October (I know...geeky & paranoid). They doubled the rate for the event but you could get a group rate of $149/night. In case they "lose" the reservation I also booked a room at the Comfort Inn a couple of miles away (really paranoid).

Yes, I'm counting the days!

I'm not planning on bringing a camera...

Victor - traveling light, eh...

That's OK, you can borrow my camera!

Re: Gathering of Mustangs - slightly OT

I wouldn't blame Vic a damn bit for not taking a camera. It will be a once in a lifetime experience. Why mess it up by seeing it all through a viewfinder only. That is a show to enjoy with both eyes wide open

Re: Gathering of Mustangs - slightly OT

I tend to agree - most every great aviation event I've ever been to, including Reno, I saw through a camera (incl. video) just so I could re-live it later. I'm still trusting that the Stallion 51 folks will have someone there to document the event in hi-def.

Ahhh... we have seen our future and I think it are us!

Re: Gathering of Mustangs - slightly OT

Just confirmed my flight - $5

Gotta love those Southwest Rapid Rewards!

Hotel's been booked since last October, so see you all there. Oh, and unlike Victor ( ) I probably WILL be taking a camera!

Re: Gathering of Mustangs - slightly OT

6 hour drive to place I grew up $100 round-trip

Staying with drunken friends from way back... $0 (unless I hafta buy the beer)

Expensive dinner at 2nd. favorite steak house (The Top) ~ $100

White Castles for the remainder of the meals ~$50

51 Mustangs in formation at once... Essentially free...


If anybody wants to get together I know where to eat in Columbus at least. Besides White Castle (Which, like Wendy's, was started in Columbus. BTW.)

I'll definately be there!

Re: Gathering of Mustangs - slightly OT

Can anyone with knowledge of the area tell me where a RV can find a place to park. According to the website, the recommended campground is over 25+ miles away.

hmmmm maybe one of the owners needs a support vehicle on site with an airconditioner

Any help appreciated...
