P51 Mustang flight :-) WOO HOO!!!!!
My 50th birthday present from my wonderful wife Margo, a P51 Mustang flight.
Many thanks to Steve Griffin for the loan of a 10.5 nikkor fisheye to take these shots. 
Takeoff P51 Mustang Caboolture Airport Queensland Australia 
Inverted over Bribie Island Beach looking up through the canopy down on the beach. 
Bank and turn coming into a simulated ground attack run. No AAA. 
Steve, I did not spew on your lens, I promise! Way to much photography gear is never enough!
...... lucky lucky, basta........ I wish it was me....... good capture
Cheers ....bp....

Re: P51 Mustang flight :-) WOO HOO!!!!!
Outstanding Dug,
You just gotta love that aircraft, you have one very special wife. Cheers David
AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!!!!! 
if any of you ever get the chance to fly in an old warbird TAKE IT!!!!!! Way to much photography gear is never enough!
looks pretty happy
Between you and Glamy it appears when you get into plane that it causes a reaction that causes you to grin from ear to ear
Glamy is going to duct tape his D2x to the prop next time for some special effects 
I have been eating lemons but the smile is still on my face Way to much photography gear is never enough!
That is the reaction we can photograph with out being banned from the site  
You have to do it to believe it! trust us, it's a hoot!!!!! Way to much photography gear is never enough!
Top shots Dug, How long did the flight last?
More fishing, more sport, more photo's Pentax 1stds
Awesome stuff Doug.
I often see that aircraft fly over but didn't realise you could go for a run in her. My 50th in a couple of weeks. Time to start talking Cheers

A slightly biased report.
The next guy to fly in it was an evil Canon user (BOO HISS) but his camera had broken down (Typical of Canon Rubbish) I loaned him my Nikon and the Sigma 10 to 20 (Yea! Go Nikon) He is a pilot who flys out of Maroochydore (Interesting) Not the P51 but light aircraft,he has promised to take me for a fly in exchange for the loan of the camera
So Tim You may get airborne sooner than you think PS you would fit in the P51 and you would have a ball up there.Way to much photography gear is never enough!
Just checking the orientation of this shot the first one is my view relative to the aircraft
this is the actual orientation of the aircraft relative to the ground. 
Earth Up earth down it's all relative Way to much photography gear is never enough!
Only reason ill go airborn is because you make me
Im sure id have a ball.. but i could never afford it.. looks great tho... the passage looks dirty.. but geez.. i reckon i'd be scoping out all the mangroves and such.... Google earth wouldnt hold a candle to a flyby on a p51 mustang!! Some more great pics! Tim D70 - D200/MBD200 Coming soon - Too Much Gear, Not Enough Talent
