Here are a few photos of Legends I ran into at the Gathering last weekend.

Bill Getz

I almost forgot this Legend photo......Bill Bunn--15th AF, 31st FG, 307th FS

Image

Charles McGee

Image

Charles E. Dills

Image

Nobel Peterson (The Dakota Kid)

Image

And last, but certainly not least.....on the left, Col. Don "Buzz" Wagner and on the right.... Col. Ken Chilstrom, one of the most famous and skilled fighter/test pilots in history (and a great guy to speak with).

I had breakfast with Charles McGee and his wife Friday morning before the show. Super nice people.

I just added Bill Bunn's photo to the group. I forgot to include him in the original post. He is standing in front of the P-47.

The Legend you are standing with in front of the P-51 "Millie G" is Charles Dills and he has a great website to check out. I flew with him a last year in Kissimmee.
