Merlin-27 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a few beauties today. The Wings of Freedom tour was at a local airfield. Thought it was a good way to get excited for the September announcements :) I could have sat all day and listened to that Merlin. ...and now I have door-gunner experience.

VH-Rock Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 It's great when you get a chance to be so close to these aircraft, there's just something about them. Recently, at Duxford, I managed to get myself and the VA staff into the cockpit of a P-51 C, something I'm sure we will never forget! Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008...

cichlidfan Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 The last time I was able to get close to a P-51, the opportunity for a ride was there as well (for a not insignificant sum). The next time, I am spending the money.
