It is a Legend,, the first one I saw had an aluminum big block chevy in it,,, sounded great, but the turbine is much cooler !

Kinda looks like a P-39 on steroids.
I like this one in a Patty Wagstaff scheme.

But, a P-39 and P-63 had exhaust stacks behind the cockpit !

To me it looks more like a P-51 with a training wheels conversion. Look at the shape of the lower rear fuselage on the "PW" painted one.

That's not even close to a PC-9! The PC-9 canopy is a lot bigger than the Turbine Legend, and the PC-9 sits lower to the ground, anyway. The PC-9 has it's engine air intake below the prop spinner, and has trailing link main gear, also. The Legend has neither of these features. The Legend is a good bit faster than the PC-9, also.

In Vic's defense, I think he was saying it reminds him more of a P-9 than a P-51, which is what it reminds me of.

Truly, I don't think he was asserting the pictured planes were really PC-9s.
