Got 3 of the 4 GT's in town to get together for a photo shoot with my P-51.

Even though the 4th GT was one hanger away it has never been driven so it did not make it.

While we were taking these pictures 8 Apache helicopters and a Chinook landed, so we got some pictures of these as well. Nice guys from the Pennsylvania guard stopping overnight.

No rides but they did sit in the cars and the P-51. It was really neat seeing them come in as a formation of 4.
It was a little chilly and the winds were over 25 mph

Mustang has a 2 speed Supercharger that shifts into high blower around 12 to 13,000 feet. Don't know how the boost compares to a car but I use 56 inches of manifold pressure on take off. In the war they used 61 inches and up to 67 when you had a German on your tail. Racers use 100 to 120 inches and I have heard 140 as a maximum.

I believe 56 inches is about 27.5 psi. 67 would be about 33 psi and 140 would be 68 psi. Wow.
