2007-07-24: P-51 Mustang

I don't think I had ever realized just how big this airplane is. Each propeller blade is the size of a person, and the engine is practically the size of a small car. I guess that's what it takes to make 2200 horsepower and fly 500 mph (2c)

Naturally, we all run out to talk to the pilot and take pictures

A better view of the airfield	Not a bad place to live	Good old N1288H gets a new alternator
There's so much more space available in an airplane's "engine bay"	5356F is in for its 100-hour inspection	Both Warriors are in for service	It's like someone planted that tree there on purpose to spite incoming pilots

So that's what rain looks like from the air (2c)

The happy pilot	The houses don't look nearly so small from a light plane	The dutiful photographer	There it is
Getting closer	On final approach for runway 13	Hey, sky, why are you all I see	Hey, ground, why are you so vertical
Practicing steep turns at 45° bank	Anonymous river		We're airborne

More of their airplanes. The plane I flew was 1228H, the low-wing Piper on the right.
