I just returned from the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends 2007, in Columbus, OH. I’ve posted some photos I took with my Canon Powershit A75 on full “Auto”. Not many in-air action shots, but there are a few. Lots of nice static shots, though…what a day! About 72 degrees, zero humidity, a nice breeze…PERFECT airshow weather, and Warbirds as far as the eye could see! Here’s a link to my Picassa gallery…Enjoy!
Nice group of photos. I noticed “Glacier Girl” was there. They must have gotten her bad engine fixed that aborted the recent trans-Atlantic attempt.

Those are great pics…now I’m pumped for Sunday!
Nice Pictures
I can’t wait to get there on Sunday. My camera batteries are charging.
Semper Fi,
Chris
Back from Columbus tonight. Met up with Mucker. Nice person with some cute kids. We both agree it was one of teh better shows we’ve been to. It was a great, warm, sunny day. I didn’t know the Thunderbirds was going to be there. These are shots I took with a pocket camera. Don’t really like it for this kind of picture taking. The rest of my pictures are on film, so they won’t be ready for several days.

Nice pictures, Thanks for sharing !!!
Excellent photos! I read on their website last week that they were axpecting an FW-190 and a ME-109. Were either of those there?
I will try to post my pics tonight, as well. It was great to put a face with the name and meet Wayne. What a great show! They estimated 150,000 on Sunday and around 125,000 people Saturday. The raw power in the air from the jet shows was awesome. And to be able to see some of the bombers in flight (B-25’s, B-17’s and a Lancaster) was the thrill of the day for me. The P-40’s had a great showing as well.
Unfortunately no Me-109’s or Fw-190’s.
Did anyone else make the show?
I was at the opposite end of the country, at the CAF’s 50th anniversary AirSho … and didn’t find out until midway through why there was only a single solitary P-51 at the show. But it was a great show regardless and the P-51 pilot really got the crowd going on Saturday with a little impromptu warmup routine prior to the festivities (but the grass in the medians already looked plenty short enough to me!)
I took some pics. They’re posted on my photobucket page Under “Gathering of Mustangs”

Semper Fi,

Great pics, Chris. It would have been nice to meet up with you, too. Maybe at the next local air show…
You got some nice shots, Chris. As Charles says, it would have been nice to have met you there, also. I don’t get my film back until this weekend.
Yeah, It would have been nice to meet up. I’ll take the blame for that lack of coordination. Are you guys going to Cincy Scale on Oct 20?
Semper Fi,
Chris
Barring severe injury or death, I’ll be there! Will you have anything submissions in the competition?
They’ve put on a nice show the last few years. I enjoy the vendor tables, too, as I always walk away with something.
I was there too… Of course I didnt know I’d be there til about 1am on Friday… I would have asked who else was gonna be there! My dad and Grandpa went with me. We left before the 51 Mustang formation, but got to see the “attack runs”. I was pretty happy with the show! There were soooo many people there!
Here’s a link to my photo’s. Some of the in-flight pics are a little small, but if you blow them up to 100% you can see the aircraft.
EDIT: I’ll try it again here:
Hey Mucker, can’t get into your photobucket without a pass word. Saw the Lanc in your other post. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks to everyone else for posting pics. [tup][tup] much appreciated.
Thanks for pointing that out, Dave. How do I “share” my photobucket? I noticed a few others have…
Charles, what I do for mine is copy the album address and put it in the post, instead of my generic photobucket address. Then I do a preview to see if it will come up.
Thanks, Wayne.
Here’s another try:

I’d appreciate it if someone could confirm it works.
