I’d love a P-51, but I’d find that arrangement quite claustrophobic; even the
P-40 would be pretty tight, I’d imagine.
I had a trip in a Harvard 9 years ago, in which I was flying as the pilot had
no experience of formation flying, and that was great. I recommend the AT-6,
Bob :-)
But I wouldn’t ask for too many aeros.
