Title: Cool experiance yesterday.
Post by: hitech on August 03, 2021, 10:28:58 AM: I was flying my Cherokee 6 back from Michigan Monday. I was talking to the South Bend Approach when I hear a check in call.

Mustang N51MX 11500 feet.

I think for a bit, and I key mike and say 1MX is that Mad Max ?

Affirmative comes the call.

I respond with I have an hour flying that plane. N51MX is the first entry in my log book.

Didn't you win a multi person contest with one of the "dogfight" aircraft companies like Air Combat USA to get that P51 ride HT?
