in 1968 there was a turbine powered P-51 called the Cavalier Turbo Mustang
III http://cavaliermustang.tripod.com/intro.html (scroll down the page to
read about it).

It was later marketed as the Piper Enforcer

Nope, no Turbo Mustangs, but quite a few DC-3s & Beech 18s with
turbines are, IIRC. I guess no Turbo Mustangs are around since the
military never pursued them. Which brings up another point. That
new-fangled homebuilt composite Mustang look-a-like with a Lycoming
T-55 (I think). That's almost expensive as buying a real P-51, isn't
it?

Well, let's see. A turbine has been hung on the P-51D

None of these are flying today........why?
