Description
The side less seen of a P-51 Mustang, the Cadillac of the World War II U.S. Army Air Corps.
Caught this one making a left turn in late August 2008.
Polished aluminum can be a pretty sight at any angle...when you are an airnut :-)

Rob, The bottom of my Mustang for the bottom of your Spitfire from your posting of January 1st.

I've always been fascinated with planes of any kind and love going to our small airport here just to watch them....but too afraid to ever fly....great post my friend!

Fantastic shot, the detail is superb, not easy to catch. My limited zoom doesn't allow me to get this detail from planes. great stuff Bill!
Killebrew
Gorgeous shot. 5 stars!

Beautiful, (even though I'm not an airnut!)
Dianthus
Great capture Bill:)

Great shot. I can almost hear the unique sound of a P-51. Don't you know that the ground crew was kept busy polishing that beauty. I think we ought to team up and get Gypsyflame in the air. She will find in a lot more fun than sitting on the ground and watching.

Very nice, sharp photo!

A great capture of this stunning aircraft Bill, it looks in superb condition

Wonderful shot. Just saw a program on the Military channel about the P-51 and several other great planes of WWII.

Excellent capture Bill, the P-51 was always a favourite model to make when I was a kid, we had these kits named Airfix, they were great, I did several USAF models including the flying fortress, along with a ton of brit ones of course :)

I don't think i've ever seen a P51 photo where the polished alloy is so striking. You did a splendid job here Bill, especially as it was caught in the moment. Well done mate.

A great capture, and looks great on zoom. hugs Jane xx
Kaartijer
Awesome capture! The sign looks just like the one from U.S. Truck Co.!
drace68
Superb shot, Bill.
Osper
Nice shot. It shows up the texturing even on all metal aircraft.

Oh, this is fanTAStic!!!!!

Pretty good capture of the P-51 with its propeller frozen in this one, Bill! The P-51, one of the, if not the best, fighters of WWII, originally designed and built in 120 days, on order from the RAF. Allison engine wouldn't suffice at high altitudes, so they had to refit with the Merlin engine.

A stunning shot of a wonderful aircraft. Would love to hear one in action. Cheers, Clive

Well thanks indeed, my friend! Found this beauty late but I would have got there eventually! Indeed the Cadillac of the Skies, because it had a comfortable cockpit. Spitfires were not! Very slim, very fast! This shot is a perfect angle to take of this plane. Shows off the intake well. Great one. MORE!? Rob.

Classic lines in this great shot of one of the two most elegant (and effective) fighters of WWII. Why is it that the square wingtips look just fine on the P-51, but out of place on a clipped wing Spitfire?
