Some Time for Excitement!

Flying some of the fighter jets that I have, will get your blood pumping, but the P-51's will do that also, and at the same time, giving you a sense of feeling, hearing and enjoying what some were able to live in RW! These aircraft have a reputation like no other! If you could afford to own one of these in real life, you better have the $$$$$$ to feed them, as they love to drink! Where I originally was born and grew up, the guy that owned and managed the local airport, flew one in WWII, managed to secure and buy one of these majestic masterpieces, but only took it to the skies once a year, due to the expense of the fuel it consumed! I have 8 in my FSX hangar, and it doesn't cost me a dime in enjoying them! Yes, the heroes of old, were able to enjoy these aircraft in RW and I envy them for being able to have those memories. For those who can afford to own one and feed them (and I do see them on YouTube videos), Lucky You, and I do see the smile on your faces, regardless of what it cost you! Thank you for sharing them with us!

 

 

Rick :cool:

I think the RW and sim pilots, are members of a same community. People who love piloting! In terms of older RW ones, they had however the experience of wars in their machines! :pilot:

The P-51 will sure get your heart pumping. The nice thing about flightsim is that we can fly almost anything we want for a very small cost. :cool: :D

That's what we all love about this hobby we participate in!

 

Thanks Larry and Gerard

Again, the title implied Free Beer! :mad: -- Bob

 

Tom Cruise has at least one or more P-51s.

I think you're very right Bob....:eek:Sigh..... Oh yes, the P-51, what a machine! :cool::cool::cool:

Beautiful P-51 Rick! Love the nose art! :pilot:

Thanks Aaron, Jan and David

 

Aaron - If I had Tom Cruise's money, I would have one or more P-51's also!

Oh, man. If I had a lot of actors or actresses money... For one I'd have a nice bunker that would rival that of the one in the movie Blast From The Past. I'd have lots of radio gear, nice furniture and decor, etc. Couldn't fly though. I'd have to hire someone. Maybe Tom Cruise or Harrison Ford! :D I think I could have some great conversations with those two. I know Ford acts just to fly and lives just North of me in Jackson, Wyoming. I wouldn't live there though even though it's a nice place because that super volcano just bothers the crap out of me. I wanna go to Texas or somewhere in Florida myself.

Great one Rick, I have heard P51s have a nickname "Cadillac of the sky" well the heroes of the old did not have FSX so they had to spend $$$$$$$ to feed them or contend themselves with having a glance at airshows. Short of winning some multi-million dollar lottery you will have to contend yourself with the ones in your FSX hangar.
