TP-51D (Wallpaper)

I forgot this picture in a book several year ago, and just redecover how beautiful it was so just to share…

Not so common variant that you may enjoy to use as a wallpaper…
Note the gunsight in front of the instructor.

Enjoy,

“Several Dallas-built P-51Ds were modified as two-seat trainers with an additional seat fitted behind the pilot’s seat. Serial numberswere 44-84610, 44-84611, 44-84662, and 45-11443/11450. These were given the designation TP-51D. In order to accommodate the second seat, the radio equipment had to be relocated and an additional seat with full dual controls was installed behind the normal seat. The standard bubble canopy was large enough to accommodate the extra seat.”
