Occasionally you get to fly in something you'll never forget..... home.iae.nl

Some P-51Fs had a second seat for training/observation where the old WWII tube-type radios used to sit behind the pilot.

They are so light and so powerful, you just think where you want to go and "....whoooooooooosh..." - you're there.

A 420+mph "..pseudoStrafing run..", 20' off the deck, down the middle of Whitman Field ( Oshkosh ) is a bit of a rush also.....

Some days you just get lucky......................

ps: Paul Poberezny, former Pres. of EAA, was a real WWII P51 fighter jock, and he was kind enough to lighten up a skoshe each time I got a little green around the gills.

A slow climbing roll or a snap-roll in a P-51 has a tendency to work on you a bit on a warm Wisconsin summer afternoon.

"..Wild blue yonder.." certainly takes on a new meaning when you're blasting though cotton balls at 10,000' in a crytal blue sky - with a huge Rolls Royce Merlin slinging a chrome 4-bladed, 15' diameter prop so quickly you can't even see it.

It's surreal, Mang...........................
