Default Re: Aircraft pics

Peter, they have all been slowly succumbing to old age unfortunately and I do not believe many are left if any. The original pilot (after restoration) Don Hinz who was one of the men who I worked under was killed at an air show in 2001 in that very P51C pictured when there was a mechanical failure in the engine. I was at the show and saw him peal from the formation but the engine sounded fine when it flew over me. I later learned it had crashed a mile from the airport. The P51C was again restored and is once again flying.
