I'm an hour away from Paul Allen's collection of vintage wings and tanks.


I was soooooo tempted.

I think it was $3500-$4500 for an hour of you piloting a P-51 mustang D class in a two seater.

when the hell are you ever going to get that chance. blow the wad it's only money.


oops my bad....."yes dear, I understand dear, you're right dear".

Actually....There are (at present, after the loss of this one) only 9 that are airworthy.

There are another 6-7 being restored to that status.

The rest of the 38 are either display only aircraft, being restored for display, or are in storage.
