Got a chance to get up close with Old Crow, it flew in early in the morning and we got to talk to the pilot who let us snap a few pictures!

Who owns this version of Old Crow? I wish I'd been able to see Col Anderson when he flew Micky Rupp's Old Crow with Yeager in Glamorous Glen back at the Gathering of Eagles years ago.

I thought it was Jack Roush's Mustang?

She used to be owned by Roush, but was sold to Jim Hagedorn (who Roush introduced into warbirds) several years ago, around the time that Roush's P-51B was in the middle of its restoration.

Does Roush still fly warbirds after his Oshkosh crash?

Im not sure if he does or not? I saw a couple of what I thought were his birds at Willow Run this year, I will post pictures of them tomorrow, maybe you guys can ID them?

Btw, the other P-51D painted as "Old Crow", (44-73877) N167F, formerly operated many years by Scandinavian Historic Flight and last season by Nordic Warbirds in Sweden have been sold again! I was flown from Sweden to the new owner in England earlier this week.

Yes, Jack still flies both his P-51s, AT-6, Cub, and his Premier IA Jet regularly. He flies each P-51 at least once a week, if not more.

Connie Bowlin can often be seen flying "Gentleman Jim", and I've noticed Ray Fowler has been flying the B-model "Old Crow" lately (who I believe is seen standing on the wing in your second photo, ACMech). Good to hear that Jack has been able to remain active with his aircraft! I hadn't heard much about him in a while.
