They used to have a P-51 there also.

Nice plane, brave crews have flown it.
A superb man of war in the back

Flew in this plane during two periods in my life - late 1950s in central Pennsylania, and then early 1970s in the High Arctic. What an incredible workhorse. Curtiss Wright Aero knew how to build great aircraft. Once almost crashed in a snowstorm, but the plane was strong enough to withstand tree impact and land intact. Over and out.

Flew many times aboard a C47 in the Phillippines during the 'Nam days. A tough aircraft. It was piloted by USN Chiefs. (A special WW2 position)
