Hey Ted, glad to see you survived the ride. I was beginning to
worry. ;-) You look better than I would upside down execept I think
you should have posted it upside down so you would be right with the
world. :-)
Yep - that was my reaction too. After all folks, a lot of us have
seen Ted upright, sometimes going a bit diagonal after a few malts,
but I've never seen the man truly upside down.
Tell us a little more about the experience, Ted. After all, you were
trusting your remaining years to a 60 year-old British Rolls Royce
engine (the Merlin - though in this case probably the US
Packard-manufactured version).
The P-51 is aesthetically a machine second only to the Spitfire - it
has the same form/function harmony as a Leica (IMHO). Interestingly
there's only one dual seater Spitfire left in the world, and it's in
England. One of these days I may emulate Ted and go up in it.......
Best, and MHR to you Ted,
Alex
