Do we have any veterans, or pilots, who have flown the P-51? I'd like to hear about your experiences.

I have a cousin who spent a bucket of money to fly a restored P-51, somewhere in Florida, I think. Not too long ago either.

Speaking of the Blue Angles, I was thrilled to ride with one of their pilots in the two-seater A4D Skyhawk they used to fly. I wrote a long, verbose newspaper story about it and I still grin every time I read it. I think I'll go look for it now. It has been a while since I read it. And the flight is just vivid as ever to me. ;D
