April 8-10, 2005 - MUSTANGS & MUSTANGS NATIONAL CAR SHOW
This exceptional event will pair together P-51 Mustang Warbirds from WWII and a wide selection of Ford Mustang cars for a three day show. Outstanding cars will receive trophies and all cars have the chance to 'pony up' to a P-51 for a picture.- To date, this is the only event where both Mustang cars and Mustang aircraft will be shown simultaneously in the state of Florida.

the first one in Kissimmee was awesome, about 60 p-51 mustangs showed up.

How many 51's are registered as operational?
AND...
Somebody said Tom Cruise owns one. Is that true?
-
I went to Mustangs and Legends at Kissimmee a few years back (1999 or 2000?). It was great! P-51s and the pilots that made them legendary rather than Ford pony cars ;)
I saw Chuck Yeager and Robin Olds. Almost every living Air Force pilot I ever read about was there. I was very impressed. Of course, almost every flyable P-51 in the country was there as well. P-51s were everywhere.

It also happens to be the weekend before the big fly-in, which should increase the number of planes there considerably.
-
Travolta own one?
-
You gotta be careful or they might just run away and never come back :D
BTW I was there about 2 years ago very cool the museum of flight they had a B-17 being restored don't know what came of it,but it was quite impressive, not many LW a/c there alst I went.
