I think people would have some troubles fitting in his P-51D.

Pretty sure a fellow ex-warbirder (now here) has flown that P51.

Even if yer not a pilot .. Lee will hand the controls over to yas and let you know what you need to do by the numbers.



There isn't much that compares with a day spent dancin in the clouds with that Merlin singin up front.

Very cool, were those modified for the full second seat suite or were they old trainers of some sort?

The one that Puma posted is an original TF-51 trainer.

Almost.  From the Stallion 51 website:

Quote
Acquired by Stallion 51 Corporation in April of 1987, "Crazy Horse" was built in 1944 as a P-51D and later converted to North American standards as a dual cockpit / dual controlled TF-51 Mustang.
