My all time favorite WWII airplane. Take a ride in one as it is well worth the money!

The P51 is an awesome aircraft. I was at Lackland Airfield and saw a version I have never seen before, the F82. The F82 is a twin version of the P51. I've seen a few of them now, only static display.



I guess there's one flying!

Nope. Only a handful of parts are interchangeable between the two and otherwise it is a completely redesigned airplane.

There is one flying and one nearing completion. I used to visit the yet unfinished one at the Anoka County Airport in MN many times a year when it was located there. Somewhere I have many photos of the work being done on it.

Currently this is the only one flying. Here is the YouTube video of the find and partial restoration.

Here is the YouTube video of the flight.
