P51D Questions

Wed Feb 22, 2006 7:08 pm

I've been looking around today at little and I'm having a hard time finding some info on P51 D's. I'd like to know,

1. Stall Speed-Dirty
2. Stall Speed-Clean
3. Takeoff Distance
4. Landing Distance

I know it's out there, I'm just having a hard time finding it at the moment. All of the info I've found so far doesn't include this.

(I went to a cool airport this weekend. I know the P51D can land there if the T28B can land there, but it got me to a thinkin what the limit would be.)

Thanks,
Orvis

Very Cool. Thanks Vlado!

One more please Sir.

Whats the shortest length runway you would land a P51D on? Or, what is the accepted wisdom on this?

I've heard the accepted wisdom on T28's is 3000', but I know some high time T28 guys who don't have a problem going shorter than that.

Thanks again Vlado!
