North American P-51 Mustang (N551J) - On an early Sunday morning at the Sun N Fun aerospace expo at Lakeland Florida this P51 was towed to the ramp for departure. After preflight checks the pilot had just started the engine. Since it was so early, I was able to get right behind the P51 for this shot. However I had to chase my ball cap down after taking a few photos. It is my understanding that NASCAR's Jack Rousch owns this beautiful warbird. I shot this with my Canon 70-200 F2.8 lens at the focal length of 70mm. The shutter was 1/125, F13, ISO 100. Please check out my other aviation photography.
