Tom Cruise's P-51 Mustang
Military P-51's had an 85 gallon gas tank behind the pilot's seat. Since it
makes the CG kind of screwy for the average joy rider most if not all have been taken out along with the ww 2 issue boat anchor radios. So actually most of your civilian Mustangs probably have a jump seat of some sort. TF's are actually dual control with a second cockpit & panel and longer canopy. I am not a big fan of his pontification, but at least he keeps the airplanes in fine fettle. The guy who played Worf in Star Trek, I believe his name is Dorn, used to have an F-86 Sabre. Apparently Clint Eastwood flies his own chopper and Gene Hackman, Patrick Swayze & HArrison Ford are all celeb pilots of note. Gary Numan (80's techno rocker, "In Cars" was his hit) in England and one of the guys in Pink Floyd are rock stars who own warbirds in the UK.

It has "Kiss Me Kate" painted on the nose. He had Diane Sawyer in the back seat. He also had two other warbirds escorting and filming him. One of them was a british warbird, I think a Sea Fury, and the other might have been another p-51. I definitely like his taste in planes better than John Travolta's. To bad they let insane people fly planes. I guess if you got enough money............ What do you mean? Scientology? It's beyond me how anyone can belive in that. Millions believe in neoconservativism. Which is crazier? Cheers ==bob |
