Those who are interested in P-51's might do well to go to Google, type in
Dudley Henriques, then scan down to his P-51 report. What a treat. A first
hand account of flying the plane that destroyed the Luftwaffe. Dudley never
flew combat but he served miliatry aviation and our country with his long
experience and contributuins to aviation. Read his report. As a guy who
benefited from P-51 top cover I find his repert gratifying.

Interesting site, although one question,
Quoting Dudley:
"I used wheel landings a great deal when I had the space and the runway"
I guess the other kind (no wheels!) is a bit maintenance intensive!

Landings on the mains with the tail low as opposed to full stall landings is
my preferred way to put a 51 on the ground.
Landing with the gear up takes too much power taxiing the damn thing over to
the ramp from the active.
