Saw two P-51s over the last ten years. The first was while I stood on a balcony in Highland Beach, FL and saw one come in over the ocean to land at the Boca Raton airport. It took me a second after seeing the profile to realize what it was, and then the sound of it confirmed everything. Even on its approach, it was screaming in.
Last year I flew into Cape May with a friend, and as we landed we realized the CM Airport was having a WWII aviation day. As we taxied to our ramp, I watch a plane taxiing in front of us toward the runway. When it turned, I realized it was a P-51. After it took off it circled the field and ripped by at low level and high speed. I'd give a nut to be able to fly one.
