Wow, flying in a P-51 must have been quite an experience! What an awesome time you must have had. Not too shabby in a Pitts either. A good way to cage your eyeballs, lol. I got to fly in an A26 Invader one time in Lubbock. That was quite an experience.

Yes, I have an ATP and fly/flew/will fly again for Continental. But not yet. I'm on the 737 out of Newark or was anyway. Hopefully when I'm ready to come back there will be a company to come back to. This is a scary industry especially if you're in a Southwest cockpit these days, LOL.

As for the metaphor, go for it. But if they don't like it, no blaming it on me, lol.
