Hey Chris, I work on the P-51 Mustang you flew in, I volunteer with CAF airbase GA, and that is where the Mustang is located! I work on it 3 times a weak.

"To Fly and Fight: Memoirs of a Triple Ace" is one of the best books I have ever read!!! You are so fortunate to have flown in this legendary warbird. Thank you for sharing.

When I was a kid in the early 60's At the EAA fly-ins, a ride in a P-51 was you pay for the fuel. A 15 minute ride was around $50.00! A ride in the Ford Tri-Motor was $3.00! I truly miss the good old days! We did not have as much stuff but we truly had more!

Thanks Chris. You brought back memories of my P51 ride 40 years ago.
