Very nice... I didn't get many good Mustang shots, and although I got some good video of some of them, nothing of the two that were involved in the accident. Precious Metal II certainly was a terrific scratch build...

Great shots.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
