Mcstealth Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Picking up my boy from school, a school in the pattern for ERV, I heard some real horsepower over head and going fast. Only caught a glimpse because she was low and fast. I said " d*amn" what was that???" Didn't have to wait long, here it came into the pattern, all 12 cylinders and beautiful. A 1944 P-51 in 9th Airforce colors. I got to the airport pretty quick. The pilot says it saw combat. aargh! the pictures wont load :( Quote

MooneyMitch Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Top of the list of my favorite airplanes of all time! I'll bet many feel this way too. No other sound and look of the great P51! How fun was that, seeing and hearing it come in for a landing. Quote
jax88 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Those are so cool! I watched one while practicing landings at Hondo one day. Doesn't take them long to make a pattern. I swear I saw a Douglas A-26 making left traffic for 12L at SAT Sunday. Quote
