Mustang over Melbourne

I was just browsing PPRUNE when I heard the unmistakable sound of a P51 and then saw it make a pass of the CBD. (drool)

Does anyone know who's it is?

No relation to the Late Col Pay, just coincidence.

It was the Point Cook museum aircraft. I know because it departed PC immediately behind me, and passed me very impressively on our respective ways via Williamstown.

It passes a 172 at a very impressive rate. And yes - they sound just as good in the air as they do from then ground.

From me - thanks Heritage Mustang. Made my morning
