Hello Trekkies,
A break from flowers, roses, etc...
today P52 Mustang - legendary aircraft, one of my favorite :)
In the background are Alpha Jets belong to Patrouille de France.
Picture taken during Paris Air Show 2009.

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II.

The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944. It also saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was relegated to a ground attack role when superseded by jet fighters early in the conflict. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.

As well as being economical to produce, the Mustang was a fast, well-made, and highly durable aircraft. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650, a two-stage two-speed supercharged version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and was armed with six .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.
After World War II and the Korean conflict, many Mustangs were converted for civilian use, especially air racing. The Mustang's reputation was such that, in the mid-1960s, Ford Motor Company's Designer John Najjar proposed the name for a new youth-oriented coupe automobile after the fighter.

Hi Jolanta. A very nice image. Great presentation, we see the P52 up close with the jets in the background. Colors are nice. Perhaps a little more space in front of the Mustang might help the compostion. Good job, thanks.

Hi Jolanta,
Excellent sharp picture of this wonderful P51 Mustang. You used the right shutter speed setting the motiuon blur of the propellor is perfect. Nice how you included four of the Patrouille de France aircrafts. Great aviation piocture!
