Re: Looking for info of loadouts+belting of P-51C+D and P-47C+D please

The ammo load for the P-51D was 1880 rounds, for the B/C it was 1260 rounds, No rocket launcher racks until the P-51D-25 with retro to -20 but five installed on each wing.

1000 pound bomb per wing rack for D/K/H, 500 for B/C. Max Load for D/K racks were 165 Gallon tanks at ~ 1120 pounds each and very manuever loading restricted.

For 5" HVAR - 6 each @ 140 pounds each
w/o bomb/fuel racks 10 @ 140 pounds
Tracer load entirely dependent on pilot pref.. my father used 1:20 with 1:5 for last 50 rounds.

Use no tracers, no warning
