Andre Ethier has played his entire MLB career (2006-2011) with the Dodgers.

If a team trades a player development contract do the players change go to that team or stay there?

Yes, the players stay with the parent organization and go where their parent club has a PDC (player development contract). We can begin by examining the changes for this year (2009) in the MLB at the Triple A level, as there were many: Albuquerque used to be Marlins are now DodgersLas Vegas used to be Dodgers and are now Blue JaysSyracuse used to be Blue Jays and are now NationalsColumbus used to be Nationals and are now IndiansBuffalo used to be Indians and are now MetsNew Orleans used to be Mets and are now Marlins So, if the players go with the Contract and not the City, then 2008 roster for the Las Vegas 51s will contain many players on the 2009 Albuquerque Isotopes. Here's the 2009 Isotopes roster: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ros&cid=342&stn=true&sid=t342 Here's the 2008 51s roster: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/rosters/2008/10274.shtml Catching I see Arduin and Ellis moved to Albuquerque. Infielders DeWitt, Garcia, Hu (yes, Hu's on 2nd), and Maza moved from Las Vegas to Albuquerque. Outfielders Jones, Paul, and Repko also made the move from Las Vegas to Albuquerque. Two pitchers also made the move. That should be sufficient to answe the question, but if you would prefer to completely geek out on baseball minor league triva, next compare the current Las Vegas 51s with last year's Syracuse Chiefs. You will find the same story. Many players for Syracuse last year are now playing in Las Vegas.

Are P-51 Mustangs used today for military use?

No. There's only a handful of P-51s still airworthy, and they are mostly used at airshows and to do flyovers at special events. The flying P-51s today are all in private hands. If you get a chance to see one, don't pass it up. Most WWII aircraft became obsolete right after the war ended, as jet aircraft became more practical and were adopted by the leading air forces. US B-29 bombers were still used in Korea, and so were P-51s, but that was the last combat for them. The Spanish air force was still flying German Bf 109s in the late 1960s. The DC 3 cargo plane was called a C 47 by the US Army Air Force, used to haul cargo and drop paratroopers. Lots of those are still flying, some as airliners; there's one locally used as a fire plane to drop water on forest fires.

Did rush limbaugh's dad fly a P51 during World War 2?

China Burma theatre same as Steven Speilberg's dad. Rush's Dad and Speilberg's dad both flew B-25 Mitchels, and Rush's Dad flew P-51s and B-17s, and after the war trained pilots so he was what one would consider "expert" flier!
