Gathering of Mustangs--Up Close!!!
Thu May 10, 2007 1:30 pm
Well, with the debate as to whether or not we will be able to get close to the Mustangs or not, I just decided to email them and ask. 
Good news!
This makes me even more excited!

Mr. Spencer,
You will be able to get up right next to most of the Mustangs on display. There may be a few that have to be roped off or seperated from the rest of the displays as they will be flying demonstration flights during the show. I hope this answers your question and we will see you at the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends this September.

GEE...think of all the good vibes there'll be. 
At least you got an answer to your question. I asked them about what kind of seating (bleacher or chairs) there'll be in the grandstands and if the "veterans" discount tickets are for ANY veterans or for "retired" vets. Never heard a word.

Jeff Thornton...hmmm...I wonder if he's any relation to Sean or Cole?*
*(Maybe a bit too subtle for some of youse troops. I'll wait for an answer though.)
