Re: Time to climb
Also your right stuff comment is a bit flawed. I have lunch with Bob Hoover all the time and he can also set you straight on the facts if you would like to hear first hand from the #1 right stuff guy, still alive. Also I recommend purchasing O'Learys book on Mustangs. It will enlighten you a bit on what the Mustang really did unless you don't think Chilton, Hoover or Welch were "Right Stuff guys". And for your information the average total time of your right stuff guys from WWII was less then a 1000 hours total time or less. I know of dozens now some 65 years later that have that much time turning base to final in a P51. So I think we have a few right stuff guys still flying these planes. Again In am sorry if you are offended, but that's a fact Jack!! Hope to see you make Reno so you can see first hand what these planes do so you can comment from first hand experience. Mustang wing has higher mach number then Bear Cat wing and can go faster on same horsepower. Bear Cat can however out climb any Mustang on earth and you can take that to the bank.
