For two years now, Mustang
co-owners Bill Yoak and Paul Hunter have displayed their gorgeous P-51D
"Quicksilver," at Oshkosh, opening it to literally thousands of visitors
and actually encouraging people to "touch gently." In a further generous
and patriotic gesture, this year they relocated the airplane to the
Theater in the Woods for an evening performance of actor Gary Sinise's
Lt. Dan Band. The airplane was lit from underneath, and certainly made
a dramatic sight that was enjoyed by everyone. Putting a P-51 Mustang
into the middle of a swarming crowd at a rock concert was perhaps the
most overwhelming display of faith, goodwill, and genuine friendliness
this writer has ever seen. Thank you, Mr. Yoak and Mr. Hunter, for your
willingness to share your lovely airplane with the attendees.
