Immediately after I posted asking for patience and restraint on the P51
thread, I received an email from a good friend who is a P51 owner and
active in the flight safety section of the P51 community.
He sent me the information I will be posting here under a separate
header concerning the NTSB preliminary report on the accident.
He asked that I post the information for all to read.
Hopefully it will answer some of the questions.

The A, because of the canopy construction, in my opinion anyway, would have
a lower visual cue factor on approach than the D and this in my opinion
could have been a relative factor.

Fascinating. Thanks, Dudley.

May I respectfully suggest that because this accident is so recent, and
that as a result of this, there are families and friends in the P51
community whose lives have been terribly affected by this tragedy;

Hopefully, on the off-chance that any of them lurk here or come across the
discussion, they know that the people who
discuss it here understand their loss and hope they are able to overcome the
tragedy.

At the risk of sounding callous, when my time comes, I hope it's doing
something huge like flying a P-51 instead of driving to work, crossing the
street or surfing the internet.

Asking for this in the name of the P51 community at large,

"The P51 community at large." As far as I'm concerned, if you even make it
IN to "the P51 community" you've won the game. Thanks again for your
comments.
