I used to work at a small airport nearby and a B17 and P51 were barnstorming and stopped by offering rides in the mustang for $200. Talk about settting ya back in your seat. wildest 20 minute ride i ever had. FAA eventually showed up chewed their asses for landing on a short runway

The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.

I'll bring a truck next time and foam him if he shows up......................hopefully he's found another server to vent his frustration on.

Nice pix, Viper.
See Ya There!
