Bottom line, Merlins run fine on 100LL, but can generate much more power

because Mustangs are flown at much lower weights today than they were

Yes, I know. :-)

So, what gives Dudley? You only carrying half an ammo load?


No ammo, no guns, no 75 gallon rear fuselage tank, no armor plate, no
hanging ordinance and no drop tanks. Did I miss anything? Oh yes, no
monster radio that sat behind the pilot.

Maybe no oxygen too, but that's just a guess.

PS, some guys have the guns and ammo for show.
