 ...came into being in 19&1,
but to trace its beginnings we have to go back to the mid-
1950s, when a group of ex-service pilots in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley of Texas bought a surplus North American
P-51 Mustang for the pleasure of flying one of the war's
great aircraft; flying it for fun, instead of under the
stress of combat.
Soon other pilots became interested and joined the
group, and ano...
