Tom Cruise's P-51 Mustang
I saw his interview with Diane Sawyer last night. They showed video of
him flying his sweet P-51. It's a really nice one. 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. |

Yep, I have seen that. In fact the CAF had one. Normally there is a large
fuel tank there but if you tank it out this just enough room for a man. |

There have apparently been a lot of two-seat variants, with a number of them not receiving any real modification work to speak of. The US Army used to operate a couple (including at least one Cavalier mod), with a jump seat behind the pilot to handle a photographer during their use as photo chase planes for airborne tests.

Juergen Nieveler I remember Col (later General) Reggie Urschler used to fly someone in the back occasionally in his P-51 (Gunfighter). He flipped it on landing one time, fortunately he and his passenger made it out OK. There's a good article by someone that had a ride in the back of "Gunfighter" at this web page; http://www.c4ever.com/keystone/p-51_ride.htm John |

It was sold back to the US about 5 years ago after the trust operating it couldn't afford to keep it flyable. |

Cruise is WAY to short to reach the pedals. Richard |

It's beyond me how anyone can belive in that. It's no more ridiculous than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam as far as I'm concerned. What makes one religion's lies, myths, and superstitions superior to another's? |
