GML "Other Warbirds"?

Tue Sep 18, 2007 2:49 pm

Ok, I've heard random bits of info on the "Other Warbirds" that will be at Gathering of Mustangs. The web site has not really posted this info yet, so I was wondering what anyone has heard through other people or if they are involved with aircraft that might be attending.

So far I've heard:
-Lancaster
-B-17, B-24, and B-25, but who do they belong to? Are they Collings or not?

The B-17 is Yankee Lady

Looks like LSFM B-25, Special Delivery/Doolittle Raider.

Well, I knew that, but owns "Supermarine Spitfire" and "Curtiss P-40 Warhawk"? :D

I guess I should have said "specific info." :?

Thank you though! 8)

There was a Me-109, Fw-190 and Zero listed.

I expected a Ha 1112 and Zero replica or two, to fly advisary.

Looks like a fair amount is backing out. :cry:

How many P-51's are not gonna make it, I know one that is still in a bunch of pieces.

8 days!

I'm just guessing but possibly the Spitfire and P-40 are from the Fighter Factory?

There's only 1 Buchon flying, and that's on the West coast. And no Fw (Focke Wulf) or FW (Flug Werk) 190s flying in the US.

P-40, Spitfire from Texas perhaps?

Glacier Girl is is confirmed, I believe...

CWH Lancaster is shown on their website as attending!

Anyone know which P-63 is supposed to be there? I can't imagine CAF's would be there with the Midland get together going on. Maybe Mr. Borman's or Mr. Pond's???

Thanks in advance...

Steve :wink:

That'd be awesome to see the Lanc come down. I've never seen one.

WWII fighters that flew with and against each other such as the P-40, P-63, P-47, P-38, ME-109, FW-190, and Spitfire are expected to be in attendance along with some of the country's top Air Show Performers at this incredible aviation celebration!


Did say Zero too! :?

No - they are only bringing their Mustang.
