Great to see the photo of you, your Dad and the P51. That looks to be one happy mob besides a great flying aircraft. Something for you to treasure. Thanks for sharing.

Tom, that's a cool shot!! have any close-ups - looks nice!
Guys, If you have not done so, make sure you post them in the "Gathering of Mustangs & Legends" thread, they'll look good in there!!
