P51D Mustangs....

(1/4) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Had the pleasure of spending yesterday evening in a hanger with a Stearman, an Auster, a Cesna 172, a Harvard and two, yes two, P51D Mustangs  :dance:  Please feel free to feel jealous  :lol:

I am afraid I may have come across a little awestruck... actually, I know I came across awestruck! Despite the owner making me very welcome it was all a bit overwhelming. The Mustangs are truly beautiful. One is currently flying, the other is nearing completion and should be airworthy by the end of the summer. Here's Janie, the one that already has it's certification.

Bush Tucker Man:
Were the Mustangs running????????



If so, you're even more of a lucky, lucky, lucky............................ person ;)

V8MoneyPit:
One of the magnetos was being replaced and they are running it up on Saturday to check the timing. Unfortunately, i will be working. But i should be OK to go along again in the near future.

I've seen Janie in action several times. Last time, by coinsidence, was Monday. We often see him over where we work. The whole industrial site comes to a standstill to watch!

I had my camera in the car last night, but forgot all about it  :roll: I'll get some pictures next time I'm there  :D

Here are some more of his collection...

V8MoneyPit:
And another...

Some people can be too greedy!!!

xmob:
Which Auster was it?  Was it one of the G-AJ** ones?

My dad currently owns three of those.  I think he's trying to get the full alphabet!!   :D
