I'd love to see this under my tree:

But I'd settle for this:

In any case, you'd better get on the stick!

The SA Rugers are very nice, especially if you are a fan of single action
revolvers. I have a pair of consecutively numbered Vaqueros in .45 Colt
that were nicely engraved and only fired at the factory and not fired
since. They're safe queens.

I do use my Ruger GP100 with the 6" barrel in .38 special/.357 MAG. It's
DA, which I strongly prefer.

When I was growing up in New Haven, there was a pilot who kept a real P51
Mustang at our crappy little airport. I saw it fly a couple of times. It
was very loud and very fast.

We have at least one P51 at our local airport. My friend is a pilot and
flew it down to Salinas Airport for an oil cooler repair. Said was a fun
plane to fly, but used a lot more fuel than his 182. In the 70's there was
a lady who had one at Concord, CA Airport. She said 450 gallons an hour at
full throttle, but did not take long to get places. 20 minutes to Reno.
3.5 hour drive, 20 minute flight.
450 Gallons/Hour seems impossible for anything short of of a freight
train engine!

That's acgtually really econnomical compareedd to a top fuel dragster engine consuming about 12 gal of nitro fuel in about 6 seconds...

"From an article by Connie Bowlin on flying the Mustang in Warbirds Worldwide. ""The fuel flow is 180 GPH at take-off power, 90 GPH at METO and low cruise is 60 GPH"."

Here are the complete specs for all of the P-51 variants:

The most popular models, the P-51D and P-51K, had a peak horsepower of
1720 so 180 GPH at takeoff would be right in the ball park. Fuel
range with the optional drop tanks is 2055, and 1155 without.
