<p>[quote user="NorthWest"]</p> <p>What is a P51? <img src="/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /> Besides an awesome airplane, I think you are thinking of a P42DC or P40DC or even a P32AC-DM. Thanks for finding that, I've heated up the link.</p> <p><a href="http://www.emdiesels.com/emdweb/products/pdf/2-sidersENG_LTR_proof_rev5RevH.pdf">http://www.emdiesels.com/emdweb/products/pdf/2-sidersENG_LTR_proof_rev5RevH.pdf</a></p> <p>Anyway, I said a high speed diesel and new coaches because of the unique needs of the Empire Corridor. While the Midwest can get away with bilevel coaches (and that is what they are soliciting bids for), clearances may be a problem in the Northeast. Also, the underground stations must be dealt with by some dual mode operation. [/quote]</p> <p>Practically everyone knows what a P51 was. It was one of the best pens put out by the Parker Pen Company.<img src="/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt=" " /></p> <p>Many years ago I had an opportunity to ride in a F-51. I learned to fly out of Holywood, FL., in an Aeronca Champ. An old boy on the field had an F-51 with two seats, and he gave me a ride in it. Several years latter, as I remember it, he lost the coolant over southern Alabama and had to put it into a field. By then I had moved to Japan, and I never heard the final outcome of the story.</p>
