I listen and look for it all the time near Bowmanville. This morning (my 81st birthday) it flew in a tight turn over my house and let out a smoke streamer as it went. Pretty sure it was a coincidence but what a thrill on my birthday. Best present in 81 years.
My thanks to the pilot. Just keep flying her over my house - I love the sight and the sound.

The Oxford Airport was in my backyard.
We often went to the airport to but snacks in the vending machines and awe in planes and pilots and The Passion Wagon
I met George there. Sitting on the couch smiling a telling flying stories
I remember his silver tooth and his smile
I Loved the sound of That motor
He flew the heck out of that thing
Rolls upside down low passes wide open
And many more maneuvers
All the time !!!!
Part of my childhood i love and never forget the sound of that airplane
Just wonderful ❤️
It was parked right in front always at Oxford

I found this painting of the plane “Super K The Healer” at flea market. Thought it had interesting history. Painted by Merlot October 1983

Sad news to report:

Larry Proffit sent me a message this morning announcing that his best friend and business partner of 50+ years, Don Asay, had passed.

If you were part of Holiday Magic Cosmetics in its Golden Era, you know that Larry and Don were two of the finest people on earth and were always among the top Distributors in our entire international organization.

Don will be missed by all who had the honor of meeting/working with him.

RIP, old friend

Today we drove past High Valley Ranch. One of Brassfield's employees lives in the A-frame house and a year ago or so ago small white Oleanders were planted inside the fences on each side of the road. A few have died, but most are surviving. The county has graded High Valley Rd after the end of the pavement. There is very little evidence of the giant dope grow left on the property. We have no idea what has become of the "pavilion" or the "casa".

A friend of mine just posted pictures of a P-51 and it took me way back. Thank you mike for giving me a ride on the back of your motorcycle when we both lived in Parkwood. I think it was a 250 or 350 and you took it out in the soft dirt with me on the back. Vivid memory for a Junior High kid.
And Cheryl I remember us riding the bus to Lesher Jr. High, and of course your dad's P-51 was something to see and HEAR.
I hope all the Hoffman clan is well and was sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I went on to fly jets in the Marine Corps. Got to fly off two aircraft carriers, and would have sat out one day to let your dad try that. I am sure he would have been better at it than I was!

Best Regards,
Ted Lammot

My grandpa used to own this P-51, back in the mid 60’s. Benjamin Breakstone Peck, Lt. Colonel in the Army Air Core/Air Force. Serving durning and after the war. He later retired from the service and stared an airline out of Luxembourg, Interocean Airways. During this time he owned Mustang Sally. I was thinking about him the other day, searched the internet and uncovered this information. Stuff I already knew from our conversations over the years but still really neat to find. He was a great man, along with all of the fighting men of the ww2 generation. The day after Pearl Harbor, on the 8th he signed up. His favorite plane was no question, it was the P-51 Mustang. Just a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for posting and indulging me.

I just returned from California after my Dad's passing just a couple of months ago. My dad, William (Bill) Riddell knew Max from the Ft Collins area when we lived there back in the 70's-80's and my dad had a Cessna he owned and flew out of the Ft Collins airfield often. My dad had a picture on his wall, which I now have, where he can be seen in the back seat of the P51 with Max driving (presumably Max flying, although hard to see). But this photo was my dad's prized possession. I also have two snapshots of my dad standing with Max in front of the P51 with the inscription on the back, "Bill Riddell with Max Hoffman, July 1974, with his P51". I stumbled onto this site was was so happy to see so many people touched by Max as was my dad. Thanks for the memories!
