A lovely view of the clouds/mountains on the way to Gatlinburg in
the P-51 Mustang.
|

It is the crack of dawn at Gatlinburg Airport (Yes, I AM awake)
and they are starting to pull out the airplanes--the P-47 was
first...
|

The Mail Call guys setting up a "Lipstick Cam" so they can see
the Gunny during his flight.
|

Pulling out "Sweetie Face", the other Mustang there.

Good morning to the sun-and Nathan's Mustang

the pilots/crew/videographers/photographers

Holy cow, the "Wicked Wabbit" ate its mechanic! :O

Sorry for finding this so amusing, but it just looked...wrong.

Okay, time to pull him out...
