Few aircraft are as legendary as the P-51. The aircraft and the
pilots who flew them during WWII are disappearing.


"Legendary"? Ever hear of the Spitfire and Me Bf 109 plus Fw-190 that
preceded it?

He said "few" not "no," didn't he? Stop being so sensitive.

BTW, your legendary is only the D-model.
This coming weekend, there will be a very special gathering in
Columbus, Ohio. They expect 120 P-51s to attend along with many
of the 80 or so remaining WWII Aces.

Gee, will they have models of Luftwaffe airfields with Me-262s taking
off or landing with Mustangs pouncing on them? If not, you will waste
your money

I bet they won't have models of Nazi planes bombing Guernica either
or a P-51 shooting down an Me262, so what?
