That is a beautiful plane Steven!
My dad served in the Merchant Marines in WWII (he had polio as a kid, but almost made it into the army. The story he used to tell was that he made it through nearly all of the examination stations before someone asked him why one leg was shorter than the other!). He passed away two years ago, but absolutely loved vintage planes. He would have been delighted to see that P51. We took him to the Aerodrome in Rhinebeck, NY about a year before he passed away and it's a memory that I will never forget. Thanks for posting!

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
