Default P-51's, Aces: A Special Gathering

------------ fwd ------------

Few aircraft are as legendary as the P-51. The aircraft and the
pilots who flew them during WWII are disappearing.


This coming weekend, there will be a very special gathering in
Columbus, Ohio. They expect 120 P-51s to attend along with many
of the 80 or so remaining WWII Aces.

The problem with your message is that next weekend is NOT September 27-30,
2007.

Bad cutting & pasting, and worse reading comprehension on my part--sorry.

But, you got the message?

I've known about it since 2005 (or before). Two Colorado airports were in
the final three locations considered. I just can't go, much to my regret.

"Legendary"? Ever hear of the Spitfire and Me Bf 109 plus Fw-190 that
preceded it?

BTW, your legendary is only the D-model.

Gee, will they have models of Luftwaffe airfields with Me-262s taking
off or landing with Mustangs pouncing on them? If not, you will waste
your money

He said "few" not "no," didn't he? Stop being so sensitive.

I bet they won't have models of Nazi planes bombing Guernica either
or a P-51 shooting down an Me262, so what?

I wonder if they will have a tribute to the Tuskeegee airmen, or will
wartime racism still survive?

Good heavens, Rob..lighten up. All it was was an announcement on REC
soaring to announce something of interest to alot of us. Not worth
fighting the war again or nitpicking one "legendary" plane over
another. The TA152-H1 could out perform them all so what's your real
point? Kurt Tank's last wartime creation at least looked like a
sailplane, which is what we speak here.

Post wartime racism is alive and well, look in the mirror.
