Perhaps the most gorgeous airplane ever built is the P-51D Mustang. Built by North American Aviation company and introduced in 1942, is just a flying beauty.
And while the Mustang I always liked since I was a child, it is not until two years ago, while picking up my brother from a small private airport here in town, that I saw a restored P-51D really up-close; it was there, chromed and shiny, like waiting for me… While salivating, I asked the person in the hangar who owned it, who replied “an astronaut” who had stopped by on his way to somewhere else. The P-51D is an awesome fast airplane that makes it perfect for racing, and I don't doubt that one in particular was fixed for that. I didn't have a camera with me, but I wish I did.
That day I vowed to myself that one day, if I make it big, I'll own one… why not? All my brothers and sister all are aviators except for me, so the day I become one, let's go big… there is nothing wrong with dreaming…
