P-51 ON SKIS

[fubar57]

I found out last year that they trialled a P-47 on skis; today I find out they also trialled a P-51...."North American P-51A-NA, ski modification, side view (SN 43-6003). First -A model built"

Brings a whole new meaning to takeoff run...

Especially when you realise that it must have had no brakes...

Seen the P-38?

Didn't we used to have a thread (many years ago) devoted to aircraft on skis?

I thought so as well Dave. Did a forum search for P-51 on skis and nothing came up

Here you go

......and the Mustang was the very first entry. What's weird is when I placed "P-51 on skis" in the search box and had "Everything" selected, nothing came up. Usually every post with the word "P-51", "on" or "skis" in it will pop up unless you filter it down a bit
