Yes, it appears to be the one on the driver side of the yellow car.  I think with the exception of 3 or 4 of the cars, the rest belong to Terry (Rambler Ranch).  He owns over 50 Eagles.

I'd love to participate and maybe get behind the wheel of my old '82 2-door again! Alas it's just too far for me to go this year.  :-\

I'd love to go again, unfortunately, I have to choose between this event or the Wyoming meet. I can only make one cross country trip in the fall.



That's a LOT of Eagles!

If you look closely, you can see that they're parked in order of body style.  First kammbacks, then SX/4s, two door sedans, four door sedans, and finally wagons.

I also love how the marquee says "The Eagles Have Landed".  8)

Didn't realize that, definitely something I'd like to try and see in person!

I was there and my old 81 wagon is in that pic. I didn't even realize they were in order.   ::)

Wow, that picture! I've never seen so many Eagles in one place. If this coincided with the Wyoming meet I'd probably have to make it!
