Cool! Four P-51's just flew over!

[SUBMAN1]

Hearing some old V-12's, and sure enough I look up - 4 P-51's in formation just flew over!

Jealous!

If I'm jealous? You bet I am. What type, P51-D!?

If I'm jealous? You bet I am. What type, P51-D!?Couldn't tell, but i assume. I saw bubble canopies and the D is the most numerous.

I have an airport not far from here. They are probably heading in there for breakfast. I might go over there and take a look.

And I am the one that is jealous when I wrote that above!

You'd better be, otherwise you'd be insane. To be able to fly a P-51...my highest dream, except for being able to fly the Sopwith Camel: An excrutiatingly difficult plane to handle:yep:

It is something to see one P51 but to see four of them, that is a good day. :up:

It is something to see one P51 but to see four of them, that is a good day. :up:That is! And very rare! Must be a club or something!

P-51's just left. 3 this time. I wish I had time to go down there, but got car issues all a sudden today. Friggen hope I didn't blow a turbo.

P51, Cadillac of the Skies!

The P51 has got to be my favourite WWII fighter. :rock:

That scene from Empire of the Sun never fails to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

I suppose being a Brit I should love the Spitfire, and I do, but there is just something about the P51 that makes it so cool; powerful without looking brutish; beautiful yet still purposeful looking.:hmm: :cool:

Slightly off topic; I saw a Lancaster Bomber overfly our house the other week. Theres ususally a few light aircraft buzzing around but I couldn't mistake the deep rich roar of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine (or 4 on this occasion) and as I rushed over to the window, sure enough there was a Lancaster heading into the distance. Those old piston engines make a gorgeous sound!

Anyway, well spotted Subman.:up:
