Glad you liked the report.
The Mustang is really very easy to fly. It does require constant attention
and doesn't suffer fools gladly however. Like any high performance
airplane, it has to be flown by the book and fooling around on the left
side of the envelope can get you killed in a hurry. Other than that....a
piece of cake.

Always interested in reading warbird flying reports.

It always strikes me how amazing it must have felt in WW2 to be a fresh
young pilot entrusted with such a high performance machine, especially
relative to other transport in the 40's.

I wonder how many found it too much and came to grief - were there any
trainer versions of the P51D or was the first flight always the first solo
as well?
