Twenty some years ago my partner and myself were on the way to Oshkosh,
and happened to stop in Nebraska (Grand Island, IIRC). There we ran into a pair of guys flying P-51s from California (as were we). After talking for awhile somebody asked about the possibility of a ride. One of the P-51 pilots said maybe, once we all had returned from Oshkosh - and gave me a phone number. Perhaps a month or so later we followed up on it and arranged to meet him at his home base at Chino, CA. Myself, my partner and his wife all went up in turn. What I remember of it was an enormous amount of power - and controls that were a lot heavier than I was used to (the plane was dual control). But it was an unforgettable experience. IIRC we paid him $100 each. David Johnson |
