Ford Mustang and EAA Young Eagles

Every year since 1953 the Experimental Aircraft Association sponsors a week-long annual celebration of aviation that, since 1970, has been held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Ford Motor Company has not only been a big supporter, it is in fact the exclusive automotive partner of what is officially known as EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

Joining eight others it's constructed in the past; Ford has created yet another one-of-a kind special edition Mustang that will be sold at the Gathering of Eagles charity auction to be held on July 28th of this year. The proceeds from the sale will benefit the "EAA Young Eagles program" (which, since 1992, has provided free introductory flights to 2 million young people).

Collectively, Ford auction vehicles have raised $3 million since 2008 to support the Young Eagles program.

P-51D Mustang and Bob Hoover

"This year's one-of-a-kind Ford Mustang honors two aviation greats, the iconic and historic P-51D Mustang fighter plane, and highly decorated fighter pilot, test pilot, and air show performer, Bob Hoover, who is referred to by many as one of the greatest pilots ever to have lived," said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford board of directors. "The Shelby GT350 Mustang, with its nimbleness, speed and aerodynamics, provided us with the perfect platform to create this tribute to the P-51D aircraft."

As the ninth "one-of-a-kind" pony car, the Ole Yeller Mustang features a custom yellow non-production paint that evokes the livery of R. A. "Bob" Hoover's yellow P-51D that still holds the prop plane record for coast-to-coast travel at 5 hours and 20 minutes, set in 1985.

The exterior features custom "Ole Yeller" accents and badging, along with custom carbon fiber components and mirrors projecting images of the aircraft.
