True I did this a month before I did the P51 flight! :-) At the right old age of 76! hell it only takes being young at heart! :-) Yep nice taking pictures of these birds but it's a hell of a lot more fun flying them!:-) Well Ok in them! If in doubt I do have a few images of me "up side down in a P51 at 5000 ft!" :-) Love it! It's the only way to fly and to hell with those big lumbering passenger jets!:-) Yeah yeah I know the P51 is a single seater! However there's space right behind the pilot seat for a fuel tank. Quite frankly another one of those brilliant ideas by engineers who'd not have to fly the plane in combat!!!! And when it's removed there's just a teensy space for a seat and controls to fly her! Damn wonderful flight! :-) Just glad there weren't any Me-109's around that day! ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
