Very nice. I've been in a little bit of a funk since the loss of Gerry Beck, who in my opinion was one of the top contributors in the warbird movement, and probably one of the most approachable P-51/Corsair pilots ever. This video is a bit of a reminder of why people keep these old birds flying.
I'm sitting in a WorldClubs lounge in an airport at 9:00 on a Friday night after a long week of meetings. I could work an easy 9 to 5, but I tell myself that if I keep plugging away, I can have a P-51 someday, if only for a short time. It's been my goal for almost 2/3 of my life. Hope my kids don't expect an inheritance!
I did some math a while back, and it looks like the cost of ownership of a P-51 is only slightly higher than an Eclipse 500 (if you fly it enough).
