    Default P-51 in the air ?

    Did I take too many beer, or is it possible I saw P-51 Mustang in the air today over Longmont, CO ?
    Long nose, loud & mean engine sound, wing at lower level, going very fast compared to Cessna´s, doing tight turn in the air etc.
    Or any ideas, what it might have been ?

    Just interested

    You too huh, I though I was having issues but they have been flying them around the Loveland airport for about a week. Very cool to see them or the B-24 low and fast around Windsor.

    I think those are one of the best looking aircraft ever built. I love P-51's.

    Awesome airplanes...love the sound and how gracefully they move around the sky.

    Outstanding, so I wasn't seeing things! I thought I had eaten the wrong shrooms for dinner or something

    I didn't see the mustang, but I saw a P-47 Thunderbolt. The cool thing about those old planes is you hear them well before you see them coming.
