THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Rickenbacker Airport is attempting to land a historic gathering of P-51
Mustang fighter planes and pilots for 2007.
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority, which runs Rickenbacker, and
Experience Columbus, the cityıs tourism bureau, are recruiting the show.
Columbus is competing with two Denver-area airports, Front Range and
Jefferson County, according to The Denver Post.
Joe Marinelli, senior vice president of Experience Columbus, said the
national show could draw 100,000 people and pump $20 million into the
local economy.
Competing events? ...or, since we're all together - let's tour?

This Reno event was scheduled for this year (2006) but got pushed back a
year, to June of 2007.
Hey, I just found out that Paul Allen's (new) P-51 Mustang is over at our
airport having some work done to it.
