Just a note to say I understand all this excitement about the P-51's.
We have a couple of local ones at our airport in Oshkosh, WI. While I
have never flown in one, the sounds of those engines are like nothing
else in the world. The same is true of our local B-17. Very unique and
moving sounds. I finally gave up photographing them because I was
getting the same shots over and over. It's just like that with these
two. You see one, you have a camera, you're going to take a photo (or
several).

Now that's got to be a birthday gift from heaven! :-) Me, an M7, 15mm lens and slide film along with the Canon 20D and 10mm-22mm zoom lens. Like all wides as there isn't any room for even a 35mm! ;-)<

Sorry I'm not going to be able to be there, and record your face as you get out of the Mustang!
Happy Birthday! It couldn't happen to a nicer feller! > Have a great ride! David and Rose.:-)<<<<<
Hi David,
Thank you both and hopefully I'll have a few photos, digital or otherwise to post next weekend when I arrive home.:-)
I don't know how to do this, "post photos" but I'm sure I'll receive a word of wisdom or two in making it happen. That is of course we take off and land all in one piece! ;-) The landing part really counts! ;-)
And of course some jet jockey doesn't decide to shoot us down! :-( You know one of those guys , "Bandit at 12 o'clock high sort of thing!" ;-)
Now isn't that a wild and crazy imagination? ;-) Make a hell of a news story! However it would seriously tick off, "she who must be obeyed!" ;-)
