Hey, I was at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends mentioned in the video. I love Mustangs. They had some flights that mixed Mustangs with a modern fighter - the Mustangs must have been peddling as fast as they could while the fighter was standing on the brakes in order to keep formation, but it was a great photo op. Thanks for that link. I'm going to send it on to those who attended the show with me.

I kinda like the idea... But I question the ethics of sending more people to the moon. I'm beginning to think exploring space is a pointless waste of money, energy and resources.

Maybe we're related! I have a bunch of family I don't know, and my grandfather was adopted, so we don't know his roots.

this guy asked me to be his friend. He's been very stalkerish towards my older sister for about 6yrs.

6 Years? Obviously he doesn't want to come on too strong...

OK, morbid curiosity forced me to check out his myspace page. He's a Cancer, fer crissakes. As if he'd ever get his ass out of his bedroom, much less his house.

I concur foot but then what is his moon sign? That tells alot. Mine is scorpio yet my mars is in cancer. Talk about living under a rock.

Well when he seems to have backed off some since HS. He still sends letters but now they're imploring my sis to work in his lab (she's a math major) instead of marrying him.

He's told me he has Asperger's autism. I don't know how true that is. Yeah he was weird, but I went to school with him for years (in my grade) starting in 1st grade. I would think he would've had serious discipline or learning problems and I never observed that, just social probs.

No but his last letter asked my sister to come help him in his lab at the top of the tower he is building.

He really does freak me out but my sister doesn't see him as a threat and isn't willing to take any steps against him. She just ignores everything he sends (which her current address is unlisted and he still found it out), which he usually doesn't send more than a letter or two a year. Has called my parents house several times, and even called her in college one time. The roommate answered and pretty much convinced him the girl he was searching for didn't live there.

Looking for a pen pal?

Sweetwater...the stock Mustang was capable of 351 mph. Not too hard for a modern jet fighter to keep up.

Modified versions (read: the Type 61 Merlin) can hit 408 mph at sea level. With modern tolerances and machining, even an older Type 40 Merlin or a basic Dart engine can likely hit 375.

The Mustang was a damn good fighter, but I'd match it to the F8F Bearcat any day. It was faster, more maneuverable, had the (arguable) advantage of a radial engine versus the water-cooled Merlin.

I can talk planes all day but it might be better to do it in PM or another thread to prevent topic drift.

Or you could start a thread so the rest of us can learn something?

You can start here to know what the planes look like.
