The second is of one of two survivng P-26 Prusuits, one is in Washington DC, thone at PoF flies
Next is one of 3 P-12 Prusuits left

Hey Dave! It was nice to meet you. Thanks for not be an internet mass murderer. I wish I new that was your first ride, it would've been way more rubber layin'. The day after we went out I found that my K&N air filter was totally clogged that why it wouldn't run as hard as it usually does. I guess your going to have to come back out for another ride. Cool planes.

I'll hafta stop by the surface of the sun first, so I can compare a Hemi car to a Six Pak......but next time might be a road trip. we had a pretty bumpy ride into Vegas. I didn't loose my lunch, but two other people near us did, and I was sick the rest of the way home.

You'll find that Hemi car in hibernation, too nice to drive hard.
