Got 3 of the 4 GT's in town to get together for a photo shoot with my P-51.

Even though the 4th GT was one hanger away it has never been driven so it did not make it.

While we were taking these pictures 8 Apache helicopters and a Chinook landed, so we got some pictures of these as well. Nice guys from the Pennsylvania guard stopping overnight.

Great photos!

All supercharged engines!
 
Awesome!
 
Cool Shots. Did you guys give the Military Boys any rides?
 
Alright, Dave - it is now obvious to everyone you have a kid!
Too cute!

Totally agree. Awesome!
 
Great
 
No rides but they did sit in the cars and the P-51. It was really neat seeing them come in as a formation of 4.
It was a little chilly and the winds were over 25 mph

Mustang has a 2 speed Supercharger that shifts into high blower around 12 to 13,000 feet. Don't know how the boost compares to a car but I use 56 inches of manifold pressure on take off. In the war they used 61 inches and up to 67 when you had a German on your tail. Racers use 100 to 120 inches and I have heard 140 as a maximum.

I believe 56 inches is about 27.5 psi. 67 would be about 33 psi and 140 would be 68 psi. Wow.
 
All classics. Thanks for the pictures.
