After dreaming and wishing for over sixty years, Dad gets to fly backseat in the only dual-stick/dual-control P-51 Mustang in the world ("Betty Jane"), courtesy of the Collings Foundation and its Wings of Victory tour. (Music: "The Place Where Dreams Come True," James Horner, Field of Dreams Soundtrack)

  • Great video! I assume your father is a pilot? Did he fly in the military?

  • @Mxsmanic Yes, my father's been a private pilot for over forty years, though he hasn't been able to fly as much lately due to the fuel and rental costs.  He was never in the military, but he's had a lifelong interest in WWII and has been dreaming of flying a Mustang, and in a B-17, since he was a kid. We took care of the B-17 dream a few years ago in the Fortress that was also there that day. And now the same outfit has taken care of the Mustang dream. Love the Collings Foundation.
