That was Jack Rousch making that pass at Port Columbus.
I just happened to be there to see it. I was shuttling rental cars back to Rickenbacker. There were 2 Mustangs, Old Crow piloted by Rousch, and another Mustang that he recently sold, but I didn't catch the name or the new owner.

The original "Old Crow" was flown my C.E. "Bud" Anderson of the 357th FG. He was a triple ace in WWII and Chuck Yeager was HIS wingman. I have met this fine American on several occasions and his stories will blow your mind. His recount of each kill is incredible. See his awesome web site . You can spend hours on it. It is very well done.

BTW, he and his son flew a combat sortie together in Vietnam. His son is a retired Viper driver here in the valley.

I read Bud Anderson's book a few months ago and it is fantastic.

If you think a Mustang sounds good you should hear a Lancaster go overhead.

P-38 Lightning. There are 2 of them here, one flying and this one, "Glacier Girl" that is static.

Was this the p-38 that was buried in ice?

Re: Gathering of Mustangs
 

Glacier Girl is in fact the P-38 that they dug out from under the ice in Greenland. Neat story, only wish they could retreive more of them.

Here's one Mustang that wasn't there:

Ferocious Frankie named for wife of American ace Wallace Hopkins. 8 German kills.

Somebody asked for a Spitfire?

Probably the most famous Spitfire still flying as it has never been fully rebuilt. 7.5 German kills.
