P-51Ds at Sun 'n Fun

[Mike]

There was apparently a boycott of Sun 'n Fun by the P-51 brigade this year. However, 3 did turn up (other than the invited 'Crazy Horses' from Stallion 51)), plus the CAF's 'Old Red Nose', which did excellent business giving rides at $795 a time. It seemed to be very busy, so hopefully generated some worthwhile funding for the CAF.

Jerry Yagen's recently-acquired 'Double Trouble Two' was there for a couple of days, along with Dave Marcos' 'Sizzlin' Liz' and Chuck Greenhill's 'Geraldine' - a very nice stock restoration.

Hi Mike
thanks for being so generous with your pictures.
I've enjoyed them all so far.
This must go down as a classic trip--even by your well travelled standards.
Just a bit envious.

PS. Whoever vomits onto the communal flight suit--it'll be their job to clean it.

Looks like I just found a new "Vacation" to go on in the future! Thanks for posting the pictures, they are great.

Lynn:
Jim Buckly was the driving and he was having just a little bit of fun.
