"The Final Round Up"
Stallion 51 Corporation announced last week that The Gathering
of Mustangs & Legends: "The Final Roundup" will take place in
the summer of 2006. The gathering, planned in cooperation with the
Reno Air Racing Foundation, will bring numerous Mustangs, Aces and
pilots who flew the Mustang into battle 60 years ago. (Photo by

The 1999 Gathering of Mustangs and Legends brought 65
Mustangs and 12 Aces together for a weekend of technical seminars,
lectures, and story-telling from both present day owners and the
experts who braved combat in these machines. This event drew
approximately 40% of the airworthy Mustangs.
It also drew thousands of spectators, media attention, and
demands for another gathering. (Photo by Paul Bowan)
Stead Field, Nevada will host the gathering Jun 8th to 11th of
2006. This "Final Round Up" will include a massive 51-plane Mustang
formation, solo and formation Mustang demonstrations and USAF
Heritage Flights. Other aerial activities and demonstrations will
continue throughout the event.
The Aces, Legends, and heroes who flew the Mustang in combat
will be on hand for photographs and lectures to share their first
hand experiences flying the Mustang. The aircraft will be available
for photographs throughout the event. The 2006 Gathering expects to
draw 100 Mustangs and 51 Aces and heroes. (Photo by Paul Bowan)
Though it's a year away, preparations are underway. Look for
more updates as the men and machines are confirmed. This could be
the last time it is possible to see this many Mustangs and Aces in
one place.
