The P-51 Mustang is a single seater, so if you want a ride in one, you have
to hold on tight! g |

P-51 Hitchhiker
Thanks, Bob.
We were watching planes land on 18R at Oshkosh last Sunday (22 Jul 07) and saw this P-51D land. He turned off at P-4 and stopped. We were amazed to see his passenger step out! Four eyes are better than two, I'm sure, when it comes to taxiing a plane with zero forward visibility. Jon "Bob Harrington" wrote in message ...

Jon Worth noting, too, is that ~this~ P-51D has been modded to something much closer to TP-51D status - much larger canopy to allow the GIB some noggin room - he has a seat where fuel tanks and radio equipment used to live in the Big'n, and taller fin to make up for the bigger bubble.
