Nice, he should have had this thing at the Gathering of Mustangs, shame he left it home in AZ.

Pretty sure I overheard someone say it was in for an engine overhaul at the time.

The engine now only has 35hrs on it. Built (or rebuilt) by the same people who maintain Jack Roush's Mustangs.

Wow, something must have happened to the motor. It was shown at Oshkosh in 2006, just after a restoration, and sold shortly thereafter. The motor should have had next to no hours on it in 2006 after the restoration.

Did you know that there's a rule against only posting 2 pics of a P-51?

Those are great, I love the old airplane and train shots, I'd hang them on a wall.

Those are both awesome shots, very cool perspectives and great detail, nice work! I love the sun sparkle off the canopy on #1
