Freakin' awesome. Me likey. But dang. Six functioning M2's. Who's backing this guy to pay for the ammo?

[ColdOne]

P-51 one of my favorite planes. Sweet!

Had the pleasure of assembling one of these aerial M2’s.

What is with that stupid pop up and the page going black. Is this a virus site?

I was a sickly child during WWII and ate many meals off of a tray.

The tray had a Vickers Spitfire on it and I can still see it in my mind.

Not an American plane——but quite memorable to me.

BFL. I’d also like to find someone to keep me in ammo for .50cal

[Little Ray]

A working P-51 is $1.5 million, plus.
It holds 269 gallons of avgas at about $6 per gallon.
If he can afford the plane and the gas, ammo is relatively cheap!

Those deuces shake that baby.

My dad was a USAF tactical fighte pilot for 7 years

He owned a T-28 in later years

He coveted a P-47 most of all

Beautiful P-51! After surviving a first tour of duty piloting B-24’s over Europe my FIL flew the P-51 on his second tour. Loved that airframe...

The M2 is still a formidable weapon and slightly updated versions are still in use today.

An M-16 will make you run for cover.
An M60 will make you wish you had thicker cover.
An M2 says screw you AND your cover...

I’d love to see an operations P-38 myself. Always loved that plane.

I'm an F4U man myself, but the -51 is a beauty. One counselor I had in college (early-mid 80s) was a -47 driver. He had Thunderbolt artwork on the walls, a stained glass P-47 ornament, etc, etc. Not knowing this, of course, when I walked in there, I gawked at all of his memorabilia. Noticing, my rubbernecking, he announced: "Oh, I was Jug driver."

I have absolutely no recollection of what the hell I went to see him for. He regaled me in some stories and we talked warbirds for about an hour and a half.
