Below is Peter's charming bride standing in front of another P-51 that he flew in 1976. Peter is most-certainly used to some of the finer things in life!



DD,
No pix! ... Definitely want to see them.

Give er another shot.

P51's are clearly the "Rolls Royce" of prop planes

But, I also like the P38's and that awesome engined Corsair.

I thought blower engines needed lower compression heads and all these have HC heads.
