The chronicle of a working pony, residing on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, in Australia. The Mustang down under . . the Austang!

She really flies!
A recent landmark birthday saw me flying a P51 (actually a Commonwealth Aircraft Company variant) at Caboolture. What a total buzz and a childhood dream accomplishment!
The Mustang with wings is a hotrod of the skies, with the superb inverted V12 Merlin Rolls Royce crackling us across the wild blue in real style. Wing overs with high G pull outs, shooting up the airfield, man o man it was mind blowing.
Afterwards the guys let me park my 'stang with it to snap out some photos. I did this once before at an airshow about ten years ago. The Austang has undergone massive changes since then so it was interesting to compare the two pics.
