Awhile back, I posted a Facebook link to a P-40 gear retract test during an annual inspection.
Judging by the number of views, I'm guessing some of you found it interesting.

Now, Hangar 180 in Lewiston, Idaho has posted a brief video of the mustang test.

It's interesting to see the inner gear doors operate and the general speed of the retraction.

If you scroll down to their Jan. 16 post, there are several shots of the engine compartment during the annual. If you don't have regular access to a Mustang, you'll find them interesting.

The aircraft is N55JL, S/N 44-84615 C/N 124-44471
"Patty Ann II" 352nd FG

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

They have a very impressive collection, I like their P-64 replica. It's nice they share a look behind the scenes during annual season etc

would like to see their P-64, but i don't use facebook.

Thanks, I sent the night at Jack's house in 1990 and took a bunch of pix of his NA-50, wish I knew where I put them.
