GregWise Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This was the first TF51 Mustang I helped to build - finished about 5 years ago she was a 4 year project. After we did a prop change for her new owner- I went along for the test flight piloted by ex Air force commando Col. Eric "HOBO" Huppert. videos Little Witch and Hobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey Jim, I "wasted" $400 on a flight in a B-24 a few yrs. back. I was at a show, one of the passengers cancelled, and I "volunteered" to take the seat. I put it on my Mastercard, all the while thinking of how many models I could've bought with the same money. I'm really glad I did it! While I enjoyed the flight immensely, it was the "feelings" that made it memorable. Essentially, I realized I was hearing and feeling exactly what those B-24 bomber crews went through every time they flew a mission (minus the people trying to kill me!) I came away with a much deeper respect for those guys and what they had to endure. Take your flight in the P-51! I think you'll find it worth every penny! Cheers!
