If you’re a patriot with a pulse, I hope you had a chance to drop by Rickenbacker Field in Columbus this weekend for “The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends: The Final Roundup.”
Today’s “Heritage Flight” – a diamond formation of a P-51, an F-15, an F-16 and an FA-22 – might just be the most moving aerial tribute I’ve ever seen.
Here’s to our warriors, wherever they serve.
Awesome Birds. I envy anyone who gets to fly those planes.
I work as a contractor for the Columbus Reginal Airport Authority. I Heard today from a few of the execs that they are all ready working on plans for next year.
Rickenbacker is a super facility for an air show. When my family and I were heading for the exits late Sunday, we chatted a bit with Community Affairs Exec for the 121ARW – she had nothing but good things to say about the event and the way it was managed.
By the way, if they bring back the pyro guy next year, I hope your contract has something to do with fire response and suppression – the folks in Bexley must’ve been pretty spooked Sunday. 
When I used to live in northern/northeastern Kentucky, I would occasionally see jets coming from the north, and they seemed to be practicing flying/fighting techniques. One time they were flying so low as they passed across the highway where I was driving, that I realized I was ducking. 
It was very cool to watch.
Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen some amazing pics from that gathering. Who knows when they’ll ever be another gathering of mustangs, at least in that large a number.
