Location: Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus, Ohio

Admission: Variety of tickets were available from $15.00 and up per day.

Parking: Free on the airport grounds with some shuttle service was available, otherwise it was about a 1/2 mile walk to the entrance gates.

The air-box corridor for the air show provided excellent viewing and photographic opportunities.

The weather was sunny, with pleasant temperatures.Over 150,000 spectators attended over the weekend. Therefore, to enter the airport and to exit it was very time consuming. However, all the waiting was worth it. Over 75 Mustangs!!! What a show, truly once in a life-time! The show started on both days at 9:00 a.m. and lasted all day until 5:00 p.m.

Some of the participants were:

• 74+P-51 Mustangs!
• Avro Lancaster bomber
• B-17G Yankee Lady
• B-25 Mitchell "Pacific Prowler"
• P-47D Thunderbolts
• The Red Barons
• T-6
• AeroShell Team
• Lee Lauderback
• F-15 Eagle
• F-16 Viper
• F-22 Raptor

• and the list just goes on and on! WOW!

The highlight of the show was to see so many Mustangs all at once as static displays and to see most of them fly during the air show.
