This is my seemingly weekly contribution to this forum. Last week we lost the Tiger-2 and had the firewall pulled out of my H9 P51.

In this weeks edition you will see my very, very most favorite plane as it now appears after going straight in at, oh I don't know, 5000 miles per hour. As a bonus you'll hear the story of the P51 only putting down 1 gear for landing. After doing a few violent snaps the other one came down and all went well for the 'stang.

A fellow flier was at the controls of the Ultimate and after doing some BEAUTIFUL flat spins with it was ready to give it back. I couldn't orient the plane and he shortly lost orientation too. He did his best but it got wild and hairy. It ended up going straight in the Jungle that rims our field. Pieces, Just pieces. I feel worse for him than I do about the plane though. I wanted him to fly it and handed him the radio so I don't feel like he owes me a thing. I guess I'll need to change my avatar. :cry:
