I bought a P-51 Mustang! Going for 1st flight today....

[Stampede]

She's a beauty and in perfect shape. Snapped a pic just after buying her.

It has low air-frame hours AND a full combat history in Europe. At least that is what the seller told me.....

Wish me luck! Will post again and let you know how the flight goes!

Don`t torque-roll it.

Hope you can pedal fast!

Nah...I have read about that so, it was no problem.

Hope you can pedal fast!

I can and got her off the ground on the first try!

Pedal faster if you hear banjo music

LOL, that's cute

Sweet. When I was a tech at Charlotte, we also took care of Concord airport. If Rousch's hanger was open, I would go in and drool on his P-51. Awesome plane.
