No problem. I was inside of the fence, and I know there were some that wanted to see it more up close. I just asked the M.P. if I could take some pics of the P-51, and he said sure come on in.

Chris, I hope you haven't just inadvertently ended the career of a certain MP. :D

Looks to be well maintained. Wonder what the inside looks like, wonder if its a gutted hull like the one in Barksdale AFB??
Thanks for the pics.

I've looked and its pretty well gutted on the inside....... The outside really isn't nice either. Used to have some nasty forklift marks under the scoop where it was picked up at one time.....
