Another Mustang Thread?

I wouldn't worry about too many comments, most of us just enjoy the pictures, of which you've posted some great ones, keep up the good work.

Hey the topic is worthy of many threads, after all the Mustang was involved in the defense of Pearl Harbor, torpedoing two carriers at Midway, flying out of Cactus, being the scourge of the desert in Africa, walloping the Luftwaffe and dropping the atomic bomb, not to mention kicking MiG-15 tail...

Just an old joke we had around here a couple of years ago where we heaped praise on the P-51 for all manner of "accomplishments", I think we were all in a bar in Havana at the time...

 
As I said, this has been fun for me, at least. I've been working with the stuff anyway, and it's always different seeing them in a thread like this..

I have thousands of shots like this. If there's interest I may do a similar thread for Sea Furies and one about Racing modifications -- how to make a Mustang go really fast.

You like Sea Furies? I got Sea Furies. Actually the stories of the post war Sea Fury experience are very interesting on many levels. Some great people and great airplanes.

Still got Mustangs to do, though...

Great stuff Sisu! Simply brilliant! Keep it up! Great to see these past images. I would like to see a similar thread on the Furies and other Reno oddities, Bears, Tsunamis and so forth while you're at it.

Actually an oddities at Reno thread could be interesting -- B-25s on the course, a Fiat G-59, Skyraiders, Yaks of various persuasions, Wildcats, P40s -- even Corsairs...

One more green P-51C. This one lives in the same hangar as the Kittyhawk in message #95. I've known these folks (a little) for many years, and waited for 20 years for their Mustang project to get done. Of course they had a few others things going during these years. They have a P-40E and a P-40N, a wonderful museum and active commmunity outreach and education program. Good folks...

I still think a P-51 B or C in olive drab is one of the more lethal looking of modern warbirds.
