In that we had the CAF B-25 "Maid in the Shade" here at our airport. Had a bunch of stuff to do and didn't make it out to the airport until about 2pm. Was walking towards the B-25 and lo and behold I hear the sweetest sound. I look up and there on its takeoff roll is a P-51. Love the sound of the V-12. The P-51 then made a few low passes and headed home towards Durango. Found out later that the fellow was headed home and someone saw him pass over and got on the radio to talk him into landing here. He did and parked and let people get close to his aircraft and ask questions and take pics. Durn errands, I missed it!!!!!
However, did get to climb thru the B-25 (Father flew these, among others), but missed out on taking a ride. Went back yesterday, but not enough people by then to warrant taking the B-25 up:-(
