Flying Heritage: Bud Tordoff and the P-51 restorers

The Flying Heritage Collection restores, flies and preserves combat aircraft and artifacts representing technological, ideological, political, and economic views of aerial conflict in the 20th century, with emphasis on World War II and the Cold War era.

Acquired and restored to flying condition by investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, the Collection will soon call Paine Field Airport, in Everett, Wash., its new home. Scheduled to open in summer of 2008, the new facility will allow for increased public viewing and continued Fly Day events, where these historic warbirds will return to the skies. www.flyingheritage.com

I loved the video, the fact you had it's last pilot there was moving. How you guys do it I don't know, what a project it must be to restore one of those beautys. Inspiring is the best word I can use, you guys get a gold star.

I still say the P51H can do circles around the P51D. Then again im a woman and like more slimming things XD!! LOL!!! But great job, the Mustang thats built there is still beautiful ^_^ and i hope it meets up to their expectations.
