Man can't fly with them. Wonder why? Atf bunch of fun haters. Hard to define the cost of 6 m2s

That's really cool!
Maybe because the dude could do some serious strafing if someone pissed him off?
Then what about helicopter hog hunts. Not entirely the same but still firing a firearm from a aircraft. Not trying to argue but private owned aircraft and browning mg's if was done on private land why not right??

whatever the reason, it's stupid. If the man can afford to restore a P-51, afford to own and shoot 6 M2's installed in said P-51, afford all the support equipment, ammo, maintenance on the plane, his own special range specifically for this project . . . and on . . and on . . . and on. . .
I'm pretty sure he's smart enough not to go strafing the ex-wifes house. Why? "Eye witnesses say a world war II airplane was seen over the vicinity right before the house was turned into a collander. . ." Pretty sure the guy wouldn't be able to get away with it.
This is a man's man though. not only restored a mustang, but rearmed it too. This pegs the kick-ass meter for sure.
The difference is being mounted to a dude (hog hunter) vs. being mounted to an aircraft. Violates FAA regs and ATF regs - which are both STUPID.

I still want a working a10.....
My guess would be the old slippery slope argument. First, a guy with a P-51D with six fully functioning M2 .50 caliber BMGs gets to fly with them, then you'd have guys hanging Miniguns off either wing of their homebuilt ultralights, then some clown would mount a Vulcan 37mm rotary cannon on a Cessna, and so on. Not trying to argue, either, but a line has to be drawn somewhere before the "me, too" crowd starts thinking, "Damn, I can top that!".
There's one sitting at the Guthrie Airport - get this: civilian owned. It's going to be used for weather interdiction.
yeah i knew about that, but what I mean by working is keeping the guns. they are gutting the weapons to add weather gear. meh.
Maybe The P51 that comes to the Ponca Fly in Breakfast every month or so is the one in Guthrie?
