The entry for P-51D 44-63864 is not correct. Two a/c have used this serial # and both of them are still registred as 44-63864. G-CBNM in the UK and N42805 in the US. The phase where we are talking about one airframe would be this entry:

Man I hate Mustang histories, they are such a convoluted mess

Mainly Trojans and Jets for this update, plus a couple of helos

F-4 Phantom II - 63-7485 - Created Dec. 17, 2006

FWIW, just a little nit-picking as I know there is a lot of confusion...

Warner Robins is the town, there is the WR-ALC (Warner Robins Air Logistics Center), and then Robins AFB. There is no Warner-Robins AFB!

The Museum of Aviation is located only seven miles east of I-75, near Robins Air Force Base.

Robins Air Force Base is the home of Warner Robins Air Logistics Center...

On another note, the Yanks P-47D is merely in storage in another hangar since the P-47M is already on display:
