Third Annual "Gathering of Legends"
Sat Nov 13

Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing

To celebrate Veterans Day some 40 military aviators and crewmen representing our aerial conflicts from World War II through Desert Storm will be at the Arizona Wing to talk to the public about their military experiences. Included will be the local WASP and Tuskegee Airmen. There will also be fly-overs of Arizona Wing aircraft as well as visiting aircraft. For more information call AZ Wing at (480) 924-1940 or www.azcaf.org.

This wasn't really billed as a flying event last year, but it turned out to be pretty awesome.  A few shots from last year for any who might be on the fence about attending:

Tuskegee Airmen


Jurca Spit:


Stearman (multiple photo-passes like this).


C-45:


P-51 (flown earlier in the day by Bud Anderson in formation with the Spit).


For as cool as this event was, there really wasn't a whole lot of promotion in advance of it.

Unfortunately this is the same day as the Nellis Aviation Nation Airshow, which I hope to be attending.
