[QUOTE="Dave91TM, post: 279338, member: 887"] The P51 is a thing of beauty, but, if you think a C8 is pricey to own and operate..... Couple of million to buy Couple of 100000 for maintence Merlin needs a rebuild every 250hrs combat 500 peacetime that's operating at a 1/3rd throttle and no more than 4.5g $50000 plus for insurance $200000 non for flying experience ppl 50 hours followed by conversion to a another 50 to tail dragger prefably a Harvard that's doing everything perfectly and would still make you a rookie 150 is the bare minimum. Ideally you'd get 1000 hrs plus because P51 is a supercar compared to a Cessna $400 per hour on fuel [/QUOTE]
