Oh, man, I am SERIOUSLY going to miss seeing Mad Dogs in the skies. The sight, and the sound, of a Mad Dog pax jet taking off is, for me, the last remaining reminder of all the great large tail-mounted jetliners (Tridents, B727s, VC-10s, TU-154s, Sud Caravelles, BAC-111s, Ilyushin 62s, etc., etc.). True, there are tail-mounts flying today, but none create the memory jog of the old liners that the Mad Dog does. Definitely going to miss them. It was a thrill capturing this old Delta Dog hammering past and then making this hard climb into the sky over western New York.

Id love to hear those turbo jets. Amazing there are still people out there willing to pay for the fuel and maintenance to keep those running.

My most grateful Thanks to the many people who arranged for me to have fabulous access to my birthplace airport. I left Buffalo in 1968 at age 18 to begin my 20+ years of military service and the airport that existed back then is long gone and has been replaced by this superb facility. My many film prints of the former Greater Buffalo International have now been enhanced by the hundreds of digital shots I took while airside, on the grounds, and from the twelve excellent perimeter spotting locations. Once again, Thank You to all at KBUF.

Jesse is mostly correct, but it's SCAN-30, not a Grumman Widgeon.
Written on 20-08-2019 by Bill Bailey
While they look the same there are significant differences, not many parts can be switched from one to another without modification or alteration.
This one is one of 7 Magnum conversions, 350hp Lycoming GTSIO-540s and props off a Piper Navajo Chieftain (flat rated to 300hp).
N.B. I know the owner of this airplane and what they had to do to restore it, it's one of the most beautiful SCANs / Widgeons out there, inside and out.
I do agree though, Great photo.
Chris; it was cool and unexpected we were on the beach about 5pm waiting on the sunset and got a bonus airshow!

Tom Reilly and his very talented craftsman recently, substantially finished the project (approximate 10 year restoration). True artisans. It is an incredible airplane. Currently, the only flying example of its kind. Search the web and you will find some impressive videos and stories regarding the P82’s history and this ac’s unique history. Truly an icon of North American Aviaition.

The truly unique component is the counter-rotating merlin -- similar effects for the P-38.

Interesting configuration for the engines. Anitolov seems to have come up with a way to keep dirt out of the engines in slightly poor runways.

Tomer Ariav, Not 2-P51's. This was a new design based (obviously) on the P51. However this AC is about 40% larger. There are only 4-5 parts actually common to the P51. Other than rivets and aluminum, all other parts are unique.
