Looks like this week's episode of Expedition Unknown is the one where Josh rides in the P-51. Discovery Channel, 9:00 PM Eastern. I'd post the episode summary, but the site won't let me copy the text.

If you missed the episode tonight don’t let it cost you any sleep. Major yawn.

What a waste of an hour. I've tried to watch some of his programs and usually change the channel, he really loves himself. He reminds me of TIGHAR, really finding nothing while chasing rumors, myths and half truths, laughing all the way to the bank. He did honor the WASPs and throws in some interesting tidbits. I equal him to the old Chasing Bigfoot series, just so much B.S. They had to fill the hour, why not check the Air Force report about only 2 aircraft coming in from the sea and not 3 and start in the ocean first, but then he wouldn't have had the chance to fly in the P-51 with his GO-PRO cameras. And he has a ton of them.

It was Elmer Ward’s old P-51, 44-72739, “Man O’ War”.
