OK, don't know if this is here somewhere yet, didn't see it. Just saw a tease for "Jesse James is a Dead Man" show for this coming Sunday. Supposedly he is flying a P-51 at Reno (looked like Reno on the breif clip). THe clip I saw showed a Bluenosed 'stang. J James is NOT a pilot. He is "flying"!!!??? a P-51??? Might have to watch the show even though I find him to be an idiot! Anyone know anything of this? Didn't know that Mustangs were that easy to master! :roll: Seems the AC he used was Lady Jo.

There were photos over on AAFO or WAP that showed James in the back of Lady Jo out at Stead several months ago.

I think I'd trust his wife flying a bus more than I'd trust him flying a Mustang... :lol:

(btw, she wasn't the first choice for Speed - it was supposed to be Ellen DeGeneres!)

I still like Jesse James....I love his work with motorcycles, and he's a good guy. He stays out of trouble, and does some amazing things. I still wished his "Monster Garage" was still on. What a cool guy, that's why I have a "West Coast Choppers" sticker on my bike instead of the OCC one.
