Title: Identify This!
Post by Tyler012 on Apr 19^th, 2010 at 1:29am

I had taken my brother to go get his haircut earlier this week. While reading through a periodical I stumbled upon this:

I don't know if it's real, but you can try to identify it!

It appears as though it had counter-rotating props!

Most likely a modified P-51 Mustang for racing. Its nickname is 'Precious Metal'.

My school just got a shipment of this issue. I didn't even notice the contra-rotating prop, but it certainly looks awesome!
