  • Turbine P-51???

    Does anybody know of a turbine plane that looks exactly like a P-51??? Same size as one, same shape, the only thing that made me think it was customized was that you could see the wheels underneath the plane unlike the P-51 where the wheels are hidden...

        There's a turbine powered Thunder Mustang as well...
        EXAMPLE

        ...and turbine Legends (which look close)

            I wonder what the performance numbers are on that thing compared to a Falconer powered bird? It would be cool to cut the scoop off of it and go all the way with a "Thunder Enforcer" look.

                  Another vote that the "Grand-51" is the aircraft you're wondering about...which is coincidental considering your login name on the board.

                    All of this brings up something else... a while back there was some talk that Murdo Cameron was working on an all composite P-51 replica that he planned on racing at Reno (it's still on the website too), has anything else been released about this endeavor?

                        We saw one fly over so it was probably the Grand P-51. It was the same size as a regular P-51. The only thing is like I said is that I could see the wheels and tires when they were retracted. Do you understand what I mean?

                            Hey smokeyjoe, I thought this was a friendly site to learn and share about airplanes. You don't need to be rude like that.
