Thought I would share these pictures with you. Its a rare glimpse into the cock pit of the XP-51, a outside look at it along with a picture of a Allison Engine. Last two pictures taken by myself. The XP-51 is located in the EAA's Musuem. Picture of cock pit came from the EAA Sport Aviation magazine November 2006 issue.
The EAA use to fly this aircraft regulary from 1976-1982 but the engine sputtered one day and well it was decided to ground it and put it on perminate display due to it being the oldest surviving mustang.
Fortuently its in very good company. Below a list of aircraft in the same hanger.
Dehaviland Mosquito DH 98
P-51D
Spitfire IX
Corsair F4U
Grumman Duck J2F6
B-25H
Hispano HA112
T6G-Texan, One of only two know to have been flown by Tuskege airman
Just to name a few.
