Ever Wonder What A Merlin Sounds Like Inside A P51 Cockpit? I Used To...

[JensenPark]

Guess who got a ride in a P51D yesterday?

flying in formation with a Harvard. Buddy of mine is in the back...

We get quite close

[JensenPark]

here we are buzzing Edmonton International Airport.

Gear up...just feet above the ground.

As we pull up, he pulled a hard right turn - registering 4 G. Felt like yelling "you fool...in Il2 you'll stall!"

Flaps down for landing (125 knots)

Will post more in a bit...

Needless to say, a stunning day.

That was great. How did you manage to get them to take you up?

Was this some kind of trainer to have a back seat like that?

How long is it in town? I might be in town on Sunday.

[JensenPark]

It's a 'normal' P51...but had the rear fuel tank taken out with a small jump seat put in.

It is back in town around July 15 for a few days...

I got to know some of the guys over the years...so they took me up.

Same guys that had the Corsair here last year.

[Gothkrieger]

Right on.

Yeah, was wondering about the back seat.
