MORE P-51 PHOTOS

I can't recall but isn't Death Rattler flying again?

That was my favorite Mustang at the time and was sad to hear she went down.

Yes, It now flies as "Little Horse" and I believe it's based in the Orlando area now... I know Dale Snodgrass has used it at a couple shows down here...

Ahh yeah. Now I remember reading that. Thanks!

I remember when it went off the runway at Reno. IIRC the prop linkage attachment on the Aeroproducts prop is a ring on the back of the prop that rotates through a certain amount of travel with an arm the the linkage rod end connects to. They were known for failing and that happened here. The entire rear portion of the prop actually is stationary. The prop blades went to very low pitch which is close to feather position. There is much less drag and that caused the pilot to come in fast, land long and he was unable to stop on the runway. The photos on the above link show the approach with the prop blades in low pitch and the resulting damage. Now it appears that it has a Ham Standard Prop on it instead of the Aeroproducts.

Wonder what happened to the 5 blade Rotol prop it flew with for awhile?

F-82

Since they painted the P-51H in a WW2 scheme, maybe they should have painted up the F-82 as two WW2 marked P-51Ds flying in formation?

Hahaha, 1 side could be Old Crow and the other side Glamourous Glen.
