Nothing like finding a P-51C in the hangar instead of broke ass F-15s. It is here for this weekend's air show. I just hope the weather clears up for it!

And it got better!
Had a D model show up later on in the morning. 
That is the #7 Blue Angels bird in the background. |

WOW! That's one I haven't seen before. I wonder if she's new to the circuit?

There's also a spare/display engine back there. What is it and what's it go to?
ETA - if you post a picture of the P-51 towbar, you win an internet. |

Not that it matters but hangar is spelled with ar at the end not er. Don't know about the paint job, the D model Mustang was used during D-Day. I think those colors are from that invasion.
But you right you don't see to many of the C models. And every year thare are less of the D's. First aircraft to carry drop tanks so in could escort bombers to and from targets. The sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlin is music to my ears. It's a beautiful machine. The C model was underpowered with the Allision but was still a treat to fly. I just wish the H model had made it in time to work on the ME-262. |

Don't know where the term hangar came from but if the Brits had something to do with it I'd understand. They spell tire (tyre) and they use a torch to look into fuel tanks...go figure!

The winged version of the M1 Garand. Beautiful to look at, deadly in combat, handcrafted American workmanship, the sound of which makes you want to stand up and shout, and a dream to see in action.
You're a lucky man to get so up close and personal with one of these fine, fine machines. |
