Grteetings everyone, time for the Saturday Sortie. A quick look at an old reliable, the P-51 Mustang. Hat tip to EGPWS for the idea for tonights Sortie. And yes i have that picture:-)

So on with the pics...

We lead off with an almost head on picture of GUNFIGHTER! I have been fortunate enought to see this particular plane up close and in person several times over the years.

A pair of beautifully restored Mustangs grace the electrons on your monitor in this next pic.

A complimentary picture to the one EGPWS posted last night.

There are not to many "Razorback" Mustangs left. Sadly I believe that this one was destroyed in May of 2004 in a landing accident. Even worse than losing the plane the pilot was lost as well.

Thanks to Dave Stewart for the pic of "The Beauty and The Beast" :-)

Just a pretty cool photograph to close out tonights Sortie.

Y'all take care out there and have a great week. We'll be back next weekend if all goes well.

Regards
