Re: Aircraft pics
Andy & Rick,
Thanks for sharing that moving tribute to the P-51 and its original pilot. It's so nice to see and hear something positive & reaffirming about military service for a change......  That seems like a very close and warm family. So nice to see. Nuch

Re: Aircraft pics
I could watch that stuff all day!
 Thanks for posting. Rick, I've got an incredible story about WWII and these here Mustang's, I guarantee the hair on the back of your neck will stand at attention. I look forward to sharing it with you. LateBrake U2 said you would eat it up.

Re: Aircraft pics
If it is regarding P-51's, you can bank on it. Even though only part of a P-51, the hair did that very same thing when Charley started his '55 "Final Objective" at Steve Sandlins party. The sound of that RR Merlin is like no other.

Re: Aircraft pics
Cool video, but without any stealth technology, and open tail pipes, not hard to miss. It may be more nimble in a demo flight, but my money would still be on the F-22 Raptor.
 Not only could it sneak up on this plane, I would take any USAF pilot over a Russian or Chinese pilot. One other thing about the Raptor, with it's stealth design it will replace the F-117 and the F-15. Worth the investment.

Re: Aircraft pics
These are pictures of my Uncle when he raced his mustang at Reno. He blew his engine racing and oil covered his canopy a few of hundred feet off the ground. Luckley he caught site of the edge of the runway out of a small spot on the side of the canopy that was clear and was able to dead stick the thing down. Everyone on the ground though he was a goner.
He said his prayers that night after he changed his underwear.
