Wow, what an awesome day. Thank you vets! Thank you Sal!
It was a privilege to be at the 354th Fighter Group Reunion today, 2nd August 2008.

Several P-51 owners participated and the veterans of the 354th did very much appreciate it.
I have many photos from today.

If I had to pick one photo from the entire event, this would be it.

Luckily I don't have to pick just one shot ... that is very hard, so here are a few more.
