Up until about a year ago, I worked with a man who co-owned a B-25 bomber. He also owns a T-6 trainer and a smaller single engine aircraft.

I'll bet he shows up.

They expect over 100? That's amazing. I wonder how many of them will be airworthy. Can you imagine the beautiful deafening thrum of dozens of Mustangs flying overhead? My house gets buzzed a few times a year by an Avro Lancaster bomber (one of only two airworthy in the world) and four RR Merlins make a hell of a sound. If you could get squadron or wing strength numbers of Mustangs in the air together, it would just be breathtaking.

Jonathan, I think there are only about 60 or so flying P-51s. The wikipedia lists 157 flying P-51s. So I may be wrong on the number, but that is the last figure that I recall reading. IN fact, tehre was a segment on the CBS Sunday show (I think) featuring the Mustangs and 60 flying P-51s is the number they gave.

My son and I would love to go. He has school and I have work.

We are making plans to attend the show at Duxfor, England. That is around the end of June, beginning of July.

Not in this weather!

I love P-51's. There was an unfortunate accident with one recently at takeoff at the Camarillo airport.

Please post pictures if you go to the event!

Awesome tribute to the best WWII American fighter and those who flew them! They even took on the ME262 at the end of the war.

That would be great to see and hear them in the air again.

Stega has to be the baddest P51 out there. He's got over a million bucks in the wings alone.
You should hear the puppy idle. Sends shivers in my bones.

Not sure at this time, if DJ and I will make it or not.

Trying like hell to, though.
Any chance at a chat and hand shake with Dr. Roscoe Brown, we don't want to miss.

so what do you have eh?

regular customer to my store owns one that is air worthy as well as a spitfire..

he says they were worth every cent to him...

WVO -- if you wind up going, would you mind meeting up with me, however briefly (assuming I can make it)? My brother is Director of the Grissom Air Museum, and he and I grew up madly in love with the P-51. We'd love to meet as many folks as we can at the show. And if you know anyone with a two-seater who owes you a favor ... oh, the thought of a RIDE in one of those things. That's one of my life goals.

On the "Today" show this morning, there was a nice short pieces about the P-51 being the "ultimate" muscle car aircraft for millionaires. It should be on MSNBC's website.

Looks like I might make it up there with the wife and 16 mo/old on sunday...hope there will still be some sights left =)

(we'll be taking the family wagon, not my 240D...)
