This is a message from Marshall T. Decklar in response to the purchase of the Warbirdsim P-51K Models in our dogfight product.
His Father was Lt. Carl E Decklar, 354th Fighter Squadron. P-51K 44-11360 who flew the original WR-H “Dot Darlin”

Please go and fly in his memory.....

Got my Warbird up and running, thanks for all the help. I took my laptop over to my dad's house, set him up with a logitech joy stick, gave him some instructions on how to use it and told him he was on his own while I cut his lawn. Two hours later he was still flying "Dot Darlin" and having a ball, not bad for a 91 year old with no computer experience. Sorry to say that three weeks later he caught pneumonia was hospitalized for a while and passed away at home September 24th. You and your crew have my deepest gratitude for the fine job you did on "Dot Darlin" and for the joy it gave a dying old Mustang driver, even if it was only for a few hours.
Best wishes, Marshall T. Decklar


......Blue Skies Sir!!
