The Ercoupe used in that JATO test had to re-skinned after the flight., Burnt clean through. One Big advantage over the P-51 though, buying an Ercoupe does not require an expensive, mandatory divorce and the formal issuance of a Trophy Wife like buying the P-51 does. That way you get a pair of high-maintenance flashy lookers. That being said, I'll keep the CJ.
On the subject of Warbirds, some of today's younger Top Guns may not know of the exploits of the Bird Dog and O-2 pilots. These guys flew many more combat missions than the jet jocks, up close and personal, with the highest loss rates in the Vietnam war.
