Greg , PA | Back in the mid 1970s my father took me to the local airport.
It was in Hazleton Pa. There was a P-51B and a Corsair there. The 51 was standard OD and the Corsair was navy. They were not all prettied up. They were flat colored just like how they looked in war time. The guys put the planes through their paces. It was like their own little barnstorming show. Has anybody else seen these two planes at their local airports. This was in the mid 1970s. It certianly left a lasting image in my young mind. Just wondering who was nice enough to take their planes on a little show like that. I know there isn't many P-51bs and I can say I got to see one do stunts. 06/28/2005 @ 00:22 [ref: 10606] |
