Here ya go. FTB in his Auburn days back in 1998. If you thought I was white and too tall to fit in the front seat of a P-51 such that the canopy would've smashed my small brain then you had me pegged. I', not sure if I actually would fit because I wasn't about to move the seats. I can tell you the instrument panel was nice but the #1 thing in your face is the radiator stuff. If you managed the radiator right then it was just a piper cub.




I'm going to post these for no other reason than to say he took me flying in his P-51 because I did a rental checkout. That's pretty darn kind.

Only barrel roll FTB has ever done...



Smoke on startup. Let me tell you, nobody was around when I climbed in that airplane. My buddy who is on the 88 here in ATL and 3rd generation Delta pilot and hired with 80 was the only one standing out there to see it. He was waiving to me and I waived back, but once Mr. Leeward fired the engine up, which btw when asked how much HP it had he said he didn't know for sure, but a crowd assembled. When we started buzzing the field we had a lot of people in the audience.
