Now For The Red Baron

"...chase him down in your own P51 Mustang!"

Ever wondered what it would feel like to sit inside a World War II fight plan cockpit? Here's your chance.

Give this connection here a little time to download. The imagery is fantastic & you can zoom way in to read all the gauges, placards etc. Read the instructions below on all you can do or just play with it after opening.

These images were taken of a P51 Red Tail at the Geneseo Air Show. The extremely high contrast was time consuming to tame, and patching in the "down-shot" required a lot of detail work. All part of an unknown photographer's commitment to his creative cause!

PS... there's a screw missing in the floorboard on the right side of the pilot's seat.  Perhaps on this occasion it's better that they just don't build them like they used to!

... that said there is absolutely no denying this bird the title of 'cadillac of the skies'!
