I attended Aviation Day for a few hours on Saturday. I met some great pilots and ex-pilots. The P-51 from Midland, Texas, was present in all its beautiful colors.

I was standing next to a P-51 pilot who flew in Japan. He was filming the noon time Mustang flight; I held his camera bag. I said to him, "Can you feel it?" when it lifted off. "Feel it? I'm in there," he said gleefully, with tears in his eyes. It was a neat experience for me. The twenty-minute ride is $895....
