He used to fly it with the USAF heritage flights at airshows. I think he retired from that but not from sport flying his P-51. He was my boss of bosses when I worked at Convair.:

How interesting. Thanks for the link. My husband’s good friend from teenage summer vacations in San Diego was Tom Friedkin (my husband’s divorced parents, (Mom in L. A., Dad in San Diego). Tom’s dad started PSA. He had war planes kept in Carlsbad, CA. My husband used to fly in to see him. He had hangars there for his and her (wife) airplanes..

Convair? San Diego? My father in law worked for Consolidated Vultee in San Diego (?) - before my time in the family..

My husband used to speak of Tom as a millionaire. I ran across his obit and I told my husband, “Tommy wasn’t a millionaire. He was a billionaire.”
