average 18 year old.

I think it is like the Eagle's "final tour". I think the last one I attended
was "Final Tour IV".

What makes this the *Last* Mustang roundup?

The planes will continue, but the pilots won't. The WWII guys --
what's left of 'em -- are all in their 80s and 90s now, so the odds of
gathering them all together again are slim.

I'm seeing this as one last chance to say thanks, and goodbye.
