You Like: 1:1 Scale P-51s
Maybe this should be in some other Forum, however it seems that anyone loving any aviation like the P-51.
Grab a drink and set back and enjoy;

RE: You Like: 1:1 Scale P-51s
That was probably the most moving video I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing that with all of us on RCU. I hope EVERY member will see this and be moved as much as I was!
I remember sitting down with my grandpa George many years ago and doing an interview with him for an article I was writing for school. He wasn't a pilot, but was on a battleship in WWII. He told me stories I had never heard before and never heard again. I am so thankful that I recorded the whole interview- I filled a 2 hour tape, and then some!
Now, at approx the same age as Jim Brooks, my grandpa sits in a nursing home in an altzheimers unit with grandma by his side, and doesn't remember my name... God, It sucks getting old...

Don,t get me wrong. I have nothing but respect for those pilots ,but all of them would tell you that they would be nothing if it wern,t for all the saport groups that built paid for and keep those P-51s in the air. Floyd Ray Anglin USN 1979 to 1983.

I loved it. Thank you, thank you. And most of all, thanks to all the men and women who have worn our uniforms and made us so very proud of them.

Bravo. Thanks much for posting this video Hoss, very moving indeed. The Mustang part of it was good but to me the family part was great. Again, thanks.

I watched the video and really enyoyed it.. except there were two things about it I didn't like. The first
was even though Jim has ten years on me he has twice as much hair as I do, and it is just now getting grey! I won't hold that against him...Lucky Devil!
The second thing I disliked was that my PC's sound went out! But I sat through it anyway, and glad I did as it is still one fine video. First thing tomorrow morning I'm hopping in the car to head over to my
daughter's where I will fire up her PC, get on RCU and watch the Jim Brooks Story properly, with SOUND!
Thanks Horace. Grampaw
