The P-51 D model was the most manufactured of the P-51 aircraft. The one in the image is an example and was taking off from Van Nuys airport shortly after our arrival. VNY is the worlds busiest general aviation airport in the world. Located just 6 miles West of Burbank in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaking of Van Nuys AIrport. It has such a rich history there was a movie made called One Six Right which is the compass heading designating the right parallel runway
VNY has been the filming location for a number of Hollywood movies and TV series. Airwolf was based there, Alias and 24 have both shot at VNY. The most memorable images of shot at VNY were those of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the 1942 movie Casablanca.
That will do it for today... Doug
