Link for a story about Tom Criuse's P-51 with video.

That's it from me for now.

Concerning the bare-metal Sea Fury:

a) Is that the former Chuck Greenhill machine?

b) Who is listed as the current owner?

TIA

Doesn't look like Matt Jackson to me under the helmet...

The best part is the 72% of people that think Cruise is being "reckless" according to the survey on that website.

Impossible to tell 100% certainty....but seems pretty coincidental, don't ya think? The photo used as a lead-in to the video?

Suspiciously, also, it's the same look angle as the video, the same lighting, the same hangar background. Especially since you can hear the camera motor-drives whirring away during the video sequence, seems logical that the photo is from the same sequence.

In addition, here's an eyewitness report from over at Warbird Aero Press:

Tom was flying his mustang, Matt in Argo and Brian Sanders in Chuck Greenhills sea fury(not a "Dreadnought" canopopy. Stock) And I hear Dianne got to go for a ride with Tom in his mustang with the sea furys flying "escort" and for video. I also hear Tom did ok flying formation and not just lead. Sounds like with some more time and expierence he will be ready for Reno.
