This is their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Mustang, who train many pilots for Egypt Air.

Singapore Airlines flight School in Australia has also ordered 5 Mustangs for training.

Ok... c'mon now... it would be worth taking pictures if the aircraft were North American Aviation P-51 Mustangs, but a silly little jet?

As these aircraft will be based in Imbada Egypt, this may be a very rare opportunity to 'spot' these specific aircraft.

However, here are two photos I took at last summers Abbotsford Airshow;

Now THAT's more like it!


As an aside, I have the same camera (Nikon D80) - do you like it?

They aren't in Gander yet, but I'll keep watching....and yeah we have a camera

D80's a very nice camera, I was doing great until I took a two day course on how to use it,
then I was just confused!!! Way too much information . . .

Picked up the 18-200 vr lens, sure beats the old 35mm slides!!!
