WWII pilot reunited with P-51 Mustang he flew in combat

The roar of the engines could be heard while they were still far off. A crowd had gathered to see a pair of WWII era planes land at Tampa Executive Airport, and Jerry Browne Jr. was in position.

“There’s the 51,” he said from his wheelchair.

Just after noon, a B-24 Liberator and a P-51 Mustang settled into the runway and shut off their engines to applause.

It was a reunion of sorts for Browne Jr.
