THE P-51 MUSTANG - FLYING BEAUTY.

Once in my life I have been up close and personal with one of the most beautiful machines ever created - the P-51 Mustang.  This one is located at Fantasy of Flight between here and Orlando.  I have never flown in one and this is likely the closest I will ever come to it, but even this was a wonderful experience.  Please remember that the flight shots were taken from the ground with a long lens, a lot of good light, all with a decent camera.  I only wish I had been in a chase plane along side to take these.  That would require a pretty good chase plane, come to think of it.  The ground shots truly were close up.  Clicking on an image will allow you to see it enlarged.
