Didn't see 'Glacier Girl' there (still waiting for the weather to clear the last I heard) but 'Ruff Stuff' turned up just as it was getting dark.

There is a report on Fence Check that "Ruff Stuff" has arrived at GML. Is GG there too? Pics are starting to show up on Fence Check as well so those interested may want to check in over there for more.

I remember reading something earlier today or yesterday that some warbirds including GG were in Mississppi due to weather. Can anyone confirm this?

Very cool to see all those Mustangs together. When I left Glacier Girl had not showed up and we had been pushed out

A Mustang and P-38 came in just as I got in my car to leave about 6:50 pm. Must of been the 2 you just posted.

How was picture taking up there? I had a guy tell me they shook some and he wasn't sure he would take pictures up there with a bunch of people moving around.

GG must have come in last night because it was there bright and early this morning (but you most know that already :wink: ). I just figured I let everyone else know.

Jeff,

Bare metal, with vestiges of the old black scheme on the carb air intake lip.

The 'CF-FUZ' stencilled on the cockpit cover was a bit of a givaway!

I'll post up some shots when I get home in a couple of days..
