Welcome to my Aviation Collection and thanks for following…. Many have started following, let me know where you found out about the Collection in the comments….
I1l was an a&e mech during my time in the USAF and learned to fly by talking and flying with my pilots. We had Some 51 with fusaloge tank removed and 2 nd set of controls installed for training. When that ship was up for an insp. flight I would bum a ride. It came in handy once when we had to change eng on abandoned air strip close to the action, an as my pilot arrived small arms fire kept him from exciting the pby and I took off with the pby right behind me. When I got back to base they had to send one up talk me down. After 5 attempts we went out 5 miles and I finally got it on the ground in one piece. Would love to try again. But at 85 I doubt if my friend that ownes one would let me try.
Growing up always wanted to be a P51 mustang pilot
