I had a cool opportunity to take pictures of a very rare plane. So rare in fact that it is the last one in the world.

The plane is a P-51 Cavalier.

I know the shots are not the greatest but I was in a hurry because I was not supposed to be inside the hanger.

The plane was purchased by the guys dad in 1957 for $950 but is now worth well over 6 million.

The guy that owns the plane also has a very nice fully acrobatic plane in the same hanger.
