It actually appeared to be a Titan T-51. The nose art was "Unusual Attitude". I would assume it was there for some R&D for a future bike build.

I initially thought it was a Thunder Mustang by the size, but now that you mention it, a Titan would fit too.

It is the T-51 "Unusual Attitudes". This is a photo of it that I took at Sun n Fun this year. One of our fellow WIXers (Scott) was asking the same thing a week ago on his FB page.

That would be me, and that would be the same T-51 that made an off airport emergency landing in 2010 with the engine failure. I know it was minor damage, but you can't tell from the pictures!

I'm curious if it's for Titan Aircraft, or for a P-51 bike? I'll tune if for it.
The next question: How the heck did it get in there? Did Mikey get in it and try to start it, or just make "Spitfire" noises?
