Hey All,

First post here so be gentle.

http://tmz.aol.com/article2?id=20060410130609990001

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

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

Thanks,

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:

Quote:
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.
