Mustang Photo Shoot...

[PeakCompletions]

Thought I would share a couple photos from last weekend where I flew in the "Wings Over Houston" airshow in my P-51 Mustang, "Boo-Man Choo"

It has been an emotional and epic journey the last year going from introductory lessons with our Renowned Master Aviator, Chip Beck... to an experience of a lifetime escorting FIFI as a "little friend", bringing tears to the eyes of the Veteran Bomber and Fighter pilots I had the privilege to meet and talk to in the Texas Flying Legends Hangar at Ellington field.

The yellow SNJ-5C is my primary trainer and I have had the pleasure of being able to work with some of the best in the business, specifically Jay Consalvi, an ex Navy Top Gun F14 gulf war veteran, Top Gun Instructor and Aggressor Pilot, and good friend. He is flying lead in these pictures with myself in the Checkertail Mustang on his wing.

I know I have been pretty silent on the board lately but have some good excuses :biggrin and slowly but steadily finishing up our GT1-S and GT3-S projects which we hope to have released soon.

Enjoy the pics!

Now wait a minute - all the other Mustangs have names on them but yours. Do you have to wait unitl you do something or meet some requirement before you get yours? What will you choose? Twin Peaks?

Frank -

If you look at the 3rd & 4th pictures, you'll see that Ray's plane has the name "Boo-Man Choo" on the front left side of the fuselage. I think it's also in the 1st picture on the right side, but hidden by the spinning prop.
