The Horsemen Cometh to the Flying Legends Air Show

The Fighter Collection is delighted to announce that it will be presenting The Horsemen in a truly amazing aerial spectacle at this year’s Flying Legends on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July 2009. This will be the only UK appearance by The Horsemen in 2009.

The Horsemen are widely known as the world’s only P-51 Mustang aerobatic team, comprising three highly skilled warbird pilots who have a passion for showcasing the aircraft that made America great.

Jim is a technological wizard when it comes to flying the P-51 Mustang and serves as the Horsemen Flight Lead. In addition to the Mustang, he flies the T-6 Texan and Spitfire XVIII. Jim is also a civilian pilot for the USAF Heritage Flight programme.

Dan is passionate about preserving aviation history and delights in showcasing the iconic P-51 Mustang. He also flies the T-6 Texan, Spitfire, Wildcat and various helicopters. The USAF recently selected Dan as a Heritage Flight civilian pilot. Ed is a long-time air show performer with more than 18 years of experience flying the T-6 Texan, P-51 Mustang, the F8F Bearcat and the F-86 Sabre. He was also one of the civilian founders of the USAF Heritage programme and serves on the International Council of Air Shows’ Board of Directors.

Flying Legends, organised by The Fighter Collection in partnership with Imperial War Museum Duxford, is without doubt one of the finest warbird air shows in the world, providing an unrivalled line up of the classic propeller-driven combat aircraft from both the First and Second World Wars, many of which are now rare and unique.
