St.Clair Photo Imaging offers the Borderline Boy in all of us a 360 degree panoramic view from the seat of a P-51 Mustang, which may very well be the coolest thing ever produced by the United States of America.

(Thanks to friend of the BSBFB Andy for sending that one along)

I’ll take two, please.

OK, maybe I’ll have to put just one on lay-away and save up a bit:

The view from tail-draggers is mostly awful on the ground.

You can see everywhere but where you’re going.

Sweet. That was fun.

One word: P-38

leelu- A challenger appears! Lightnings. Very kewl indeed.

The P-38 was my dad’s favorite WW II airplane. And he knew from 1st hand experience – he was once attacked by a FW-190 in Italy, BTW.

I favor the P-47 for other reasons. You gotta have girth to move the earth.

Still, any argument for the P-51’s cooletude is a very fair one. Man, that thing looks so fast.
