I wonder if I've seen that chugging around the skies over Parker..... That Sea Fury - I know I've seen that one! That thing moves like a bat out of hell, and it sounds like it's hardly straining, just loafing along. For years I swore it was a P-47, and people told me I was nuts, there's no known P-47's in Colorado. A very impressive example of big radial goodness.Quote:

It's said that Hermann Goering during the early part of WWII remarked that..."If Allied planes ever bomb Berlin, you can call me Meyer."
Of course the Allies eventually made it to Berlin, escorted by P-51 Mustangs. In response to that, Goering said..."When I saw Mustangs over Berlin, I knew the jig was up."
Taking that quote, I saw it a fitting addition to this photo of American GI and Luftwaffe reenactors admiring a Mustang.
