| This was Max Hoffman's "Boomer" at Reno during the late 70's. |

| While I was a student during the 70's at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, I had the pleasure of talking with the owner of "Boomer", Max Hoffman several times as I was learning to fly with the university flying club. Boomer was based at Valley Airpark in Fort Collins and I was able to get an up close and personal look at the aircraft several times. Max was always gracious and willing to share his knowlege of the aircraft with me. Max was a colorful character and enjoyed doing some showing off in his P-51, which caused him to get written up by the governor of Wyoming when Max buzzed the CSU football stadium during a Colorado State/Wyoming football game. |

| Man I did a search on my Grandpa's P-51 I and found this, its pretty crazy. He also won best of show at Oshkosh In '76 for one of his P-40's. So I figured I should post my response. |
