This tour is being cancelled after the landing mishap in Dallas. This aircraft has been one of my favorites over the years for both my son and I. Sadden to hear about this.

The pilot of a World War II-era P-51C Mustang is OK after making an emergency belly landing at Dallas Executive Airport Wednesday morning.

Dallas-Fire Rescue confirms the plane landed at about 10:30 a.m. with its gears retracted. The fighter plane’s prop detached as it left the runway and came to rest in a grassy area off a taxiway.

Its not Florida but a friend of mine went to the Udvar-Hazy Open House on 30 January and the pictures are awesome.

     
 

Kermit Weeks recently posted this video of his A-26 project that should be done by year’s end.

Did not have a lot of time for an extended visit at American Aero during their Open Hangar day in January so only a few pictures this day. The turn out was amazing with over 1000 people reportedly visiting during the day. Donations to the local Humane Society were stacked pretty high.

It was good to see the P-40 back together again and in the sunlight. I have some walk around video that I need to compile and post.
