Here's a link to several pictures from today's two-ship with a P-51D. We flew near Boulder City, NV and Lake Mead (the lake behind Hoover Dam). The Mustang was used by NACA for various research projects (hence the extra pitot tubes and other sensors sprouting from the wings). The airplane is based at KVGT. I was flying my Extra 300L; my front-seat passenger snapped the pictures.

(I would post a picture here, but the forum accepts images no larger than 800 pixels wide.)

Very Cool Bruce! Thanks for posting them.

I just can't imagine anything short of the space shuttle topping flying a P51! Definitely on the bucket list.

Giselle Bundchen or a P-51...
A naked Bundchen, a P-51......

Yep....I'm going flying!!

Great photos Bruce. If flying a P51 is on your bucket list (I don't mean just Bruce but anyone), why would'nt you just go to Stallion 51 in Kissimmee and for about $3,000.00, as Tiger would say, just do it? Not cheap, but for a "Bucket List" item, doable. Has anyone had the experience? I ask because I'm thinking seriously about it and would appreciate the info. Thanks, Ed

Bruce, those pictures are awesome. I enjoyed clicking around your website, too.

Ed, I haven't done it yet, but we get out to Kissimmee pretty often and I am always ogling the P-51s. Everything I have read about Stallion 51 is positive and flying with them is definitely on my list, too.

Bruce, great pics!

BTW, you can always link to them, which appears to work properly:

Yup, that link must be to the "thumbnail"; the full-size version is 1024x768 so I couldn't embed it.
