Get some TF-51D time here... https://www.stallion51.com/Great vids. And turned up speakers to enjoy those Alisons and Merlins and Wasps! What music!
Growing up, had a best friend down the street, we got heavily into WWII planes as a hobby. Built so many models, I even had my basement separated into Pacific and European theater as far as which models were hung from the rafters in imaginary dogfights. We could name any plane and all its specs, read so many books about aces, etc etc etc.
And we'd go to airshows (like the one in RI...Quonset)
...so...after high school, separate directions. I recall he got some job pumping gas at a local airport. He started taking private pilots lessons. Lost touch with him after that. Got reacquainted about 10 years ago via FB. He's living far away but he kept pursuing his license and building his certifications...multi engine, etc. Currently he flies a corporate jet for General Dynamics...has him flying all over the world. However he lives in a community down in VA...where they have grass runways right there. A neighborhood for pilots. And he's about 1/2 way through building his own Pitts Special stunt plane. He goes to a lot of air shows and other "meets" for pilots. About 2 years ago he had a post, someone he had met who owned a twin seater P-51....the TF-51D. Yup...he got to fly it. What a dream come true! I mean...40 years ago, when we were kids, we idolized these plans and those who flew them. And here was my buddy..actually flying one!
Great vid, thanks for posting! I'll revisit later again..with my speakers turned up!
