Title: P51 real life 50 cal modern day video
Post by: Gman on September 10, 2012, 11:48:59 PM

Not sure if this is a repost, but it's a pretty decent video of some current P51 owner who has made his .50 cals operational.  I found a few of the shots interesting, especially shooting at the convergence target and seeing the tracers hit.

Very cool video, thanks for posting  :aok. Wonder why the inboards weren't installed?  I'm with Pembquist, I hope he got a bulk discount on .50 BMG   :lol
