This morning at breakfast (in the lobby) I overheard Dan Patterson say 75. He had the "studio" set up inside the hangar to document all the attending Mustangs. When a Mustang arrived it was squirreled off into the hangar for 20 minute photo shoot. The other P-40 was the Baranaskis (sp?) P-40 from Long Island.

How official was the "official" count? I counted twice today and got 76, including those in hangars.

What was the N number of P-51D "Ain't Misbehavin'"?? That's a P-51 I haven't seen before.

A coffee table book of all the mustangs in the "photo shoot" would be pretty cool.

The show program included pictures of all of the Mustangs scheduled to attend, and was a great bargain for fifteen bucks. I have been kicking myself for not getting it.

Thanks, Bill!

Were there any new Mustang restorations that made their debut at GML, such as Jack Roush's razorback P-51B/C??

As I said, 83 was the max, and it came from the line crew who had a list with all the P-51's that were on the field as of Friday night. Some P-51's departed Saturday after the show to go home. A few more departed Sunday morning before the airspace closed at 9:00am.

So, if you counted on 76 on Sunday, and a few left before you counted, that would be why you count less than 83. :wink:
