Hello all.

Well yesterday i decided to try a flight from California to Hawaii in the WOP P-51D but as i found out it couldn't reach it was 70 gallons short. So then i decided to fly from Honolulu to the Midway islands. It took me 5 hours but it was still fun though :D

As i landed i had about 10 gallons left in the fuselage tank so it was a close one.

I hope you like my shots.

You tried for Hawaii first and THEN flew to Midway?  That's a long day of flying!  Love the paint on the Mustang!

I can't sit in front of the monitor that long, so I tip my hat off to you for even trying these flights! By the way, I really like that fourth shot... spectacular use of crop ;)

I like the first shot, the landing signal lights inder the starboard wing look cool!
