[QUOTE=Embraer;4568208][QUOTE=charleskieffner;4568005]a ROUSH built P-51 MUSTANG lands! HOLY BAT POO! am i dreaming??? WTF? this is 1 of 3 P-51's still flying on the planet that actually fought in world war II. the others are memorex phonies. this was mfg. in 1944, based in england and flew over normandy on june 6th 1944. hence the black white d-day ID markings.
they dont get any cleaner than this one !
i did ask " where are the .50 cals ?"
is this really the place for this? i'm surprised you didn't make an advertisment for H&K while you were at it[/QUOTE
i didnt try to do this here. it just happened, as i thought i clicked "post new topic" while fumbling with my hk 21e safety and linking belts and reloading more ammo that arrived via the black 5 ton trucks.
it is aviation related, it is a fighter, and i am saddened as anyone if not more so about the loss of a high asset fighter and its pilot. the aviation community is a lot smaller than you even realize. as with all crashes be they civilian or miltary, sooner or later i will get the ntsb/faa report on it across my puter screen. ie. the day after the pilatus crashing in bozeman, montana killing all aboard, a pilatus owner and i both surmise that the pilot either had a medical or catastrophic failure of "something" that led to the crash. it sure as hell wasnt icing on the wings because of the bellows installed on leading edges of pilatus aircraft. their stall speed is roughly 61 knots and at that point it goes into "shaker" mode to alert pilot to impending serious problems. soooooooo..........there ya have it. crucify me.
