I am glad everybody is ok.  Sorry to hear about the P-51 though.

manualy bailing out of a vintage warbird at 500ft would certainly be no easy task. Well done.  :eek:

100 ft. Just barely enough.... Good deal on getting it away from the crowd too!

I hope the P51 is OK.....they didn't comment on it. ARGH!

He abandoned it in the air.  It isn't ok.  I would be surprised, nay, shocked, if it was anything other than a total loss.

Yeah. I saw he bailed, but they said there was no explosion and that it settled in a field/trees. Plus he was low and slow. Maybe...just maybe that tough ol' bird is ok.

Further prooves how tough the skyraider really was. Hope they rebuilt the 51 though, which they can if they wanted to.
