That's really too bad about the crash.
Wonderful photographs though - thanks for sharing them with us! Two of them (#10 and the last one) aren't visible anymore - would you be willing/able to put them back up? I'd love to see them.

Well Done and loving the Series. Hope to get out to our Air Show in Aug.
Love those old planes. And always wanted a P-51D Mustang to fly around in.

Wow, the loss of a great legend from a time long ago..... I bet it feels great to be the author behind a little preservation of history. It's stories like the one you told in these pictures, with this gentleman and this beautiful aircraft, that will help the memories and the sacrifices live on. Seeing the aircraft again through the expressions on his face give empathy to the times past he holds in his mind.

Thank You!
