Yeah but Quicksilver is the exception for me. When you know the purpose behind the less than "historic" scheme it makes sense.

Warbird Kid beat me to it.... Quicksilver has a very interesting history and its paint scheme was intended to honor all who flew P-51s. Not to mention that it is as perfect a P-51 as has ever been built. A lotto hit and I'd either own it or get the Yoaks to build another one.

Holy cow. Awesome photo! Was this shot taken with a Go-Pro? Are there any photos of how the camera was mounted?

My dad gets the credit for the shots. He doesn't have any pics of the mounts. Sorry.
