Bob,
Not all P-51s remain single-seaters. I lived in Orlando for six months in
1966, and flew out of Herndon Airport several times, in rental airplanes.
There was a P-51 tied down there. On one occasion, I saw it taxi in and
park, and, when he slid back the canopy, a "sweet young thing" in
hip-huggers climbed out of a back seat. I later learned that he was from an
affluent family, and the P-51 was his favorite toy.
