Description
...This P-51B Mustang was recovered from a beet field in Little Walden, England [I know, UK:)] in 2002 where it had slept for 57 years following a crash in June 1945.
...It now flies regularly out of Paine Field, Everett, Washington about 3 miles from our house.
...My three pictures were all taken at a mid-July Fly-In in Arlington, Washington. This was before I began to figure out the mysteries of prop blur. LOL
Here's the exciting backstory of how it got into the beet field and back out.

fine plane, another interesting capture
outstanding shots and I can imagine the roar of the engine
OMG. A B! I can hardly believe what I'm seeing. ROTFLMAO!!!!! :D
A really good sequence - the 3rd image could actually do with some more prop-blur, I agree with you on that one. But what a pity 7 German planes were shot down by this Mustang...but that's war for you ! a classic capture, BB
Fabulous collage of a remarkable restoration job on this war bird.
Super collage of this Phoenix that rose again from its beet field “flames”. Dana
