Way to go!! P.s. I like that paint scheme on the Mustang, where is that one based?

Thanks!

Busy 3 days at Vintage Wings of Canada. Flew there in the Fairchild, then test flew the Fox Moth and P-40. Did 2 trips in the Harvard, front and back seat. Then launched in the Mustang.

The Merlin in this one just purrrrs. At 2500 rpm you can hardly feel it's still running.

When I saw the header I kinda figured why, but I wasn't sure what type I was going to see. P-51 indeed! Congratulations Dave. Can we look forward to a comparison article VS the P-40?

Yes, would like to hear about that. Kermit used to say that the P-40 flew twice as nice as the P-51, and that the Spitfire flew twice as nice as the P-40.
