    Got to be part of a photo shoot with 7 mustangs and a P-51 Mustang. My favorite war bird of all time!

    :D

    Nice! I love the P-51 too. We used to have air shows in Chino, where I grew up, and I just found out that they're going to have an air show here in Apple Valley in October, so they should be flying right over my house!

    That's awesome! There's nothing like the sound of that Rolls Royce V12 Merln humming along in a P51.

    They were doing 4 round trips between the Killeen (Ft Hood area) and Georgetown airports giving service men and women rides. The last ride was for a 90 year old WWII veteran. They had to help him into and out of the plane. He got out and to the ground, shook hands with the pilot and gave him a hug. The man had a tear in his eye walking back to the group.

    This was an amazing day that we did a very small part in making it a little more special for the men and women defending our country. And yes, the sound of that engine is amazing. I am going to add some video I took with an iPhone to the album later and repost.

    Uploaded three videos to my Facebook page but can't link them from there. Uploaded to You Tube though. The frame rate of the iPhone is such that the prop looks like it is barely turning. The 1st is "Taxi In", the second is "Taxi out" and the third is "Take off"
