Yes I'm from L.A. but I live in PA. Eventually my wife and I will move back to the southwest, probably Arizona. A friend of the family, a retired TWA pilot used to own a T-6 and raced in at Reno one year (1972) but I never got to ride in it.

I would LOVE to hitch a ride with your brother.
Yeah, a flyable P-51 nowadays goes for 1.5 million and up, those in mint condition even more. Could your brother perhaps give me ride in that? Please! Please!

I worked on an old King Air in mechanic school that's my only experience with them (I'm an A&P)
Did you mention your brother flies F-15's? What squadron? I'd be interested to see what unit markings they have. I work with a guy who flew F-4's in Vietnam and I'm building him a model of one he flew in the 70's.
