FYI, Re: P51D 44-742∅4 (N51U)
Circa late 1982, early1983,I had the pleasure of shooting air-air of this aircraft (from a F4U Corsair, also out of CRQ who's owner slips my memory). In addition, I've got 5+hrs in the backseat with Danny Ramsay up front. It had 15+- Hrs on it since the rebuild @ Unlimited Aircraft @ Chino,& was still green, awaiting paint. These flights
were out of Palomar CRQ. Both Max & Danny were beyond gracious to allow me this opportunity to be its1st backseater. It's the highpoint in my logbook. The photos turned out great, especially the rolls showing the earth through the Top of the canopy, & the one of Danny's son next to the prop blade. If anyone has their contact info, I've got photos that should be in their album, not my files. I'm sure Danny's Son would be greatful for the shots. Thanks to all who helped unravel this mystery for me.

In the late 60’s I flew with Jim Hicklin in the KMPC air watch traffic helicopter. Jim was best friends with Gary Whitman. One day we were flying air watch 3 the twin engine Beech Baron. Gary radioed us on VHF 122 and asked our position. We told him we were over the Cauenga pass headed north. He said fly up the 5 toward Newhall at 4,500 feet.
We did and Gary flew under us inverted at about 300 mph rolled out and went straight up and out of sight. I had a 16mm camera but miss the surprise performance.

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
