CB77 and a P-51

Didn't know that some of the P-51 owners have added an extra seat Ed, makes sense that they would want to share the experience, I just hope they're replicas.
I don't know if the 2 seater that was here was a conversion or not, but the ad in the paper showed a bubble top with the canopy stretched in the back.
Speaking of razor backs, my favorite WW2 fighter is the P-47 razor back, classic lines with the twin Wasp radial and the first of the long range fighters in Europe.

The planes were/are the real thing modified.
One was near El Paso and the other at Reno. ..............lm

So that's a P51B rather than the more common P51D with Bubble canopy and it's a 2 seater. That's very rare bird. I think I need to go to Oshkosh again to see and hear all the old warbirds.

I looked this one up, it's a P51C. The B and C models were both razorbacks. The D model had the bubble canopy (not a razor back).

Come to Oshkosh for the air show if you want to see Warbirds... or any other aircraft you could possibly think of :) I found this one in my pictures from 07.
