“Saw some nice 51s and other stuff of the same era at EAA. The 51s were usually running in the morning.”
Best I ever saw was at the Andrews AFB Open House one year. They had a Mustang display team, “The Four Horsemen.” One of them couldn’t make it that day so his place was taken by Chuck Yeager.
This is one I’d like to have seen more of. There was so much going on and it was my first EAA visit, I never got back to it.

Here are some of the 51s there, mostly idling.
