 P-51 MUSTANG...CADILLAC OF THE SKIES...P-51s .... Gray Eagles ...It is a beautiful tail dragger - top speed about 440 mph (Speed of sound around 760 mph) - extremely fast for a non-tricycle, gear aircraft; especially during WWII. During Viet Nam, they were using A-1 Spads for air support - top speed around 345 mph. I believe they used the P-51 at the beginning of the Korean War as well. If you ever make it to Oshkosh - check out their museum. I'm sure they have one on display. This machine is very impressive. Very moving! CLICK HERE: www.grayeagles.org/video.htm |
