Are you asking about the guy that is always buzzing Flat Iron in the P-51 or at least that's what I think it is? |

P-51 Mustangs were instrumental in winning the air war in World War II in Europe. They provided long-distance fighter support for the bombers. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the Tuskegee Airmen flew P-51s. _________________ Anyone can make a hike harder. The skill comes in making it easier. Dosatéhigo nasádo |

For an amateur owner of a P-51 the FAA registrations for Maricopa County should help. But the N number is the best way to know the owner. Our corporate jets are hangered at Sky Harbor but registered out of Delaware. _________________ Anyone can make a hike harder. The skill comes in making it easier. Dosatéhigo nasádo |

I have seen one with wings at TIA before and it was very impressive. Now there is a bicycle called the Lightning P-38 and I own one of them. It is flat out fast but does not come with the bike helper pictured.

I'm very familiar with the P-51. It was the question that was thin. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.

Know both planes and had a friend who flew the P-38 in WW II, but I thought you are refering to the P-38 GI can opener. Have also observed the P-51 in the Superstition Wilderness Area. |

There's also a P-51 can opener, larger than the P-38. _________________ [/size] |

Saw that dude out most of the weekend. He sure does love 'buzzing' the Flatiron area. That is a pretty sweet Navy trainer he has. He does it like clockwork every day.
Anyone know who that guy is? |
