They got the plane right, name wrong. It's not named after that horses you know what anymore. It's Gentleman Jim.

It'll be a really cool deal all around......Let's see how good Jack's timing is with the national anthem and come across the field in the last stanza....that's the trick!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing this...I think the cameramen/women will take extra time with this fly by....not just a few seconds like normal! I think they know who he is!!!!

He almost Died a few years back when He had a crash in one of his other planes... I believe it was some type of a Multi-engine, I remember during Pre-race before one of the Nascar races that year he was all bandaged up and resting at his house and the reporter asked him what he missed the most since he had been recovering ( I believe he meant what he missed the most about Nascar) But Jack had a smile on his face and replied, The sound of my P-51 Mustang when I crank 'er up

IfI recall correctly he ditched it in the drink and someone dove in and pulled him out.

Re: Jack Rousch to fly a P-51.......

Right you are...'The report said he was the only one aboard the plane and was pulled from the wreckage by someone who lives near the crash site. Smith said the plane was a twin-engined experimental "Aircam," not Roush's P-51 Mustang World War II fighter plane, as had been speculated.'

Jack did a fine job doing the fly by in formation with two T-6's! Just wondering if the P-51 was one of Chuck Yeager's former planes?

bad question, might rise the ire in a few here

BTW - it was probably his P-51D "Gentleman Jim"

Re: Jack Rousch to fly a P-51.......

Sorry. I was under the impression the airplane was still named Glamorous Glenn III. Did not mean to raise anybody's ire. I was getting my info from Nascar's website.
