This beautiful P-51C crashed due to engine failure in 2003/2004 killing the pilot. It is currently being restored to flying condition. This picture was taken at AirVenture 2002.
The Fisher P-75 Eagle was intended to fill the Army Air Forces' 1942 need for an interceptor. Its unique design featured two coaxial contra-rotating propellers connected by dual drive shafts running under the cockpit to a 24-cylinder liquid cooled engine located amidships. The original concept called for use of proven airframe components, such as P-40 wing panels, A-24 tail and F4U landing gear, to reduce the design and testing period.
The first of two XP-75s using component parts made its initial flight on Nov. 17, 1943. Flight tests revealed unsatisfactory performance. This, combined with a mission change from interceptor to long-range escort, caused major changes in the original design. Ultimately, the idea of using proven airframe components had to be abandoned. The AAF ordered six XP-75s of the revised configuration along with 2,500 P-75As. The improved version was still unsatisfactory and after three Eagles had crashed, the entire program was cancelled on Nov. 8, 1944. Only eight XP-75s and six P-75As were built.

As you know, I take kids' drawings and embroider them on something or make softies out of them.
I could not avoid this four letter word (p**p) since kids use it, laugh every time someone says it, and write stories about it. So here is P**p Monster embroidered on a pillow for your office or home decor.

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. Designed, built and airborne in just 117 days, the Mustang first flew in RAF service as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before conversion to a bomber escort, employed in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944.[2]The P-51 was in service with Allied air forces in Europe and also saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was relegated to a ground attack role when superseded by jet fighters early in the conflict. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
As well as being economical to produce, the Mustang was a fast, well-made, and highly durable aircraft. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650, a two-stage two-speed supercharged version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and was armed with six .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.
After World War II and the Korean War, many Mustangs were converted for civilian use, especially air racing. The Mustang's reputation was such that, in the mid-1960s, Ford Motor Company's Designer John Najjar proposed the name for a new youth-oriented coupe automobile after the fighter.[3]
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: Gevgelija, 08 August 2015. An international train bound for Greece leaves Gevgelija train station, as migrants arrive from Greece in the opposite direction. People migrating north must cross the border on foot. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have made the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean already this year, many fleeing conflict, insecurity and persecution in their home countries in the search for refuge in Europe.

Some of the finishing work on the wings, including installing the leading edge and wingtips. Still need to install pushrods and ailerons, do some sanding, and epoxy the two halves together.
