The darling of the B-29's during WWII, a P-51 single seat fighter airplane. This particular airplane escorted "FIFI" during my flight. Gave me goose-bumps.

No WWII warbird airfest is complete without a Japanese Zero in a mock aeronautical fight with the P-51. It was awesome!!

Approximately 5000 Japanese gave their lives to the Emperor navigating this aircraft against the Americans during WWII. The American's named it "baka" - Japanese for "idiot".
