They're both world war II fighters. I've seen them at the Reno Air Races.

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?

You can check out the Federal Aviationa Administration registration records at
http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/acftinqSQL.asp?striptxt=P51&mfrtxt=&modeltxt=P-51&cmndfind.x=0&cmndfind.y=0

Several P-51s registered in Maricopa County. Only one P-38. If you can get the N number you will know the exact owner.

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.

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.

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.

Oh, that P-51. A Mustang. A fella might be a little more specific with his questions in a darned hiking forum. Not much fer wurds is he?

I'm very familiar with the P-51. It was the question that was thin.

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.

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?
