James, why do you call it a "Learstang"? There's only been one "Learstang" that I'm aware of - Vendetta/Miss Ashley II, which had P-51 parts, combined with a Lear jet wing.


Vendetta and Miss Ashley II were two seperate airplanes, therefore there have been two Learstangs.

Yes, if you want to get technical about it. Major portions of Vendetta were used in the making of MA II, hence the "/" in between the names.

Dang, you're a North American anorak! :D

Technically true.

But Vendetta was a P-51 before the lear wing and after returned to being a normal P-51.

MA II got the wing and tail surfaces and built a new fuselage, etc.

So technically they are two different airplanes. :wink:

Elder Herr: Will you stop talking about the war?!
Basil: Me! You started it!
Elder Herr: We did not start it!
Basil: Yes you did — you invaded Poland.
