Track Day North...reserve now...



Now THAT makes me drool.  I have an uncle I never got to meet because he
was shot down over France while flying his P-51D.  Those planes hold a
special place in my heart.

A local here has one, and he very rarely flies it.  Where I work, we are
at the very end of the runway at what used to be called Jeffco Airport
(now called Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport) (N3954.53, W10507.03).  A
2 lane highway parallels the runway, and one morning as I was out having a
smoke, I heard, what I thought was a V12 Lamborghini at FULL TILT running
the highway...until dude in is P-51D blasts off the runway at top speed,
buzzes our building and proceeds to do several barrel rolls as he sped
away.  Now THAT is how to wake up in the morning (it was like 8AM), it got
my blood pumping, cannot imagine getting to fly one.
