Thanks for the photos. I see that the P-51 "Stang" was previously named "Dazzling Donna".

Thanks for the picture of Dress Blues. Haven't seen it in many years. It was rebuilt down here at Arcola by an old friend. My son got his first T-6 flight in that plane. He was 7 at the time.

The big ugly "STANG" on the nose of the P-51 is just a decal.

Note that you have the closing url (the one with the slash) first and the open url last. Reverse those two and you'll be OK.

http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/N1689C%20NAA%20SNJ-5%20Spec.htm

You can just highlight the link with your cursor and then hit the URL button.

Or you can enter the link and do nothing and it will probably still work like so:

http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/N1689C% ... 20Spec.htm

Click on the quote button on my post to look at the syntax.
