People taking pictures of their Ford Mustang next to a P-51 Mustang.

I guess this is a thing.

The car was named after the plane, more or less.

Also, Old Crow and Gentleman Jim are Jack Roush’s planes.

The Tuskeegee Airmen one was taken at EAA Airventure (the world’s largest fly-in/air show and what should be a bucket list item for everyone). Ford is a main sponsor of the event and every year they auction off a Mustang with a special one-off aviation tribute livery.

2010 one (excuse the terrible picture)

The 2015 one was signed by a bunch of Apollo 13 guys

You going back this year? There’s going to be a huge Apollo reunion. Haise, Lovell, and Aldrin will be there among others.

Not sure yet. Need to figure out the rest of my summer event schedule to see if it’s doable.
