The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends
"The Final Roundup"
Rickenbacker International Airport
Columbus, Ohio
Friday September 28, 2007

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as one jumper exits from a Cessna 182 and deploys the American flag as the national anthem is played, the jumper circled by the Red Barons, and the P-51 Mustangs making a pass behind the American flag.

Any good Air show is cool, Those guys in the stunt planes make them do things that air planes just can't do, tumble end over end, go straight up and hang motionless on the prop. But for a real thrill go to one that features WWII aircraft, or one of the service teams. I saw both at odd places, I saw the Air Force THUNDERBIRDS at a Naval Air Station and the Blue Angles in San Francisco, both teams left me with my jaw hanging. The Blue Angles were flying between the hill with Coit Tower and the Trans America building ( The pyramid looking building in photos of SF) THEY WERE BELOW THE LEVEL of the hill top ! Totally awe inspiring. Like I said, My jaw was hanging ;D

anyone notice that when the anthem singer reached the part about the "through the perilous fight" the flag had been turned to face with the star field in the upper right, so the flag was backwards, the way our military personnel wear it in the Sand Box?

Just a coincidence I'm sure, camera perspective and all that. Or was it maybe something else?   ;)

Gotta love air shows, NASCAR and gun shows.  The last bastions of patriotism.
