JensenPark Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 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 Quote
JensenPark Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 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. Quote

Gothkrieger Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 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. Quote
JensenPark Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 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. Quote
Gothkrieger Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Right on. Yeah, was wondering about the back seat. Quote
