The count of Mustangs in attendance is a number between 79 and 83.
The final count is not out yet. (Where is the last airshow where you
saw 70+ Mustangs all in one place? That's all that mattered to me!)
Yes, there were a lot of Mustangs, but not all pilots were formation
qualified OR current. These very independent and type-A owners are
hard to get in one spot to practice formation flying. The next time
you see a Mustang pilot, don't ask: 'Does it have an
Allison?'.......rather ask: 'Are you formation qualified AND current?'
