    I'm pretty sure it's out of Centennial. This is one powerful airplane and the sound is very distinctive when it's cruising! I think Iraq or Iran surplused a bunch of these back in the 80's, Bitchin' plane! The owner is an aviation lawyer and had or has a P-51 as well.

    This is from a while back, on one of W's last visits here (Buckley)






    Not a plane but my son's ride at his deployment ceremony in December (he's a SSG, Flight Medic), should be home in just a few short weeks woohoo!!

    Joe Thibodeau. Our man Quib knows him well I believe.



    This is his P-51. I got to see that one up close, just not the Sea Fury.
