[DeTomaso] Definitely no PC-- In what kind of Mustang will the factory happily install a Chevy engine?

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

That is awesome!! Probably $1500 of that is to cover insurance.  Ha 😉
If I were rich I would do it.

There is a guy at the Chino airport who gives Mustang rides. Last time I checked it was $1700 per hour, so not cheap. I rode in an AT 6 about 30 years ago and still remember the aerobatics. :)

In my last flight in a SNJ-4 a restored P-51 came along side of us. Incredible!! I love that aircraft.

If anyone comes to San Diego, you should go to what's now called "Air Group One" (Gillespie Field) and go up in one
of their warbirds. Lots of combat maneuvers. I have a few hours (Cessna 172 & Schweitzer 233) so they allowed me to
to take the stick. Loops, rolls, and lots more. I'm no "Mike Drew" but what a blast!!

Answer, A Mustang not made by Ford. In this case, a 75% scale P-51 Mustang replica called the Titan T-51 Mustang




I fly to Ohio tomorrow to see and probably buy this one.
