Re: Precious Metal

In this post you can see a pic of the new owner. He brought her to PRS to get familiar with her. He had spraybar problems and friday, after the last session, when he parked her she was smoking pretty good out the right bank. She only smoked at idle and not while she was under power. He is/was planning on flying her back to Fla. after PRS for some mods before September. But who knows now, maybe she will stay at Stead while she gets her motor rebuilt.

Motor is not hurt. Everything is fixed and she is headed back to FL to finish prep for Sept.

Warbird Adventures Adds P-51D Mustang To Kissimmee Air Museum

Two businesses at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) ... Warbird Adventures and Kissimmee Air Museum ... have unveiled their newly acquired World War II fighter. The aircraft, a North American P-51D Mustang called Precious Metal, is now on permanent display at the Museum and currently being prepared to compete in the Reno Air Racing Association's 2011 National Championship Air Races Sept. 14-18.



Thom Richard, co-founder of Warbird Adventures and Kissimmee Air Museum, is working with his crew to ready Precious Metal for the upcoming National Championship Air Races. This process is open for public viewing during Museum hours. Richard will fly the aircraft in the Races' coveted Unlimited Class, competing with 26 other World War II vintage fighter aircraft, flying 50 to 100 feet off the ground at speeds of over 500 mph, making it the fastest motor sport event in the world.
