THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Rickenbacker Airport is attempting to land a historic gathering of P-51
Mustang fighter planes and pilots for 2007.

The Columbus Regional Airport Authority, which runs Rickenbacker, and
Experience Columbus, the city¹s tourism bureau, are recruiting the show.
Columbus is competing with two Denver-area airports, Front Range and
Jefferson County, according to The Denver Post.

Joe Marinelli, senior vice president of Experience Columbus, said the
national show could draw 100,000 people and pump $20 million into the
local economy.


Competing events? ...or, since we're all together - let's tour?

This Reno event was scheduled for this year (2006) but got pushed back a
year, to June of 2007.

Hey, I just found out that Paul Allen's (new) P-51 Mustang is over at our
airport having some work done to it.
