Global airworthy Mustang census Sept 29-30 2007
Wed Oct 03, 2007 2:27 am
Just thought we could see how good WIX really is, given the knots we've tied ourselves in with the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends Mustang count... 
How many Mustangs (everywhere in the world) were airworthy last weekend?
What we are looking for is Mustangs that actually flew, or were 'on the button', and could be pushed out of the hangar and go flying, but didn't. (NOT ones that are normally airworthy, but are missing a prop...)
The RAAF Museum's example was good to go...
Seventy something at some show...
Several at Salinas...
What of the UK and Europe?
Airsho?

Also in Europe,
