P-51D N34FF & N35FF

Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:54 am

Both of these Mustangs wore the 20th FG colors including piano keys during the mid- late 70s. Does anyone know if N33FF got them as well? I can't seem to remember having ever seen a photo of the latter after it arrived in Big Spring until it was being rebuilt at Chino around 1988. N31FF was still in Salvadorean colors when I visited the ranch in 91, so that obviously didn't. Also, do we know if they got these colors while in Flaherty's care, or after arrival in Texas?

Last but not least, is Flaherty still around?

Wow, I didn't know that they had worn 20th FG colors. Cliff Kies of San Antonio was a friend and he was one of the 20th.

If memory serves that was Bill Clark's airplane, he was lost in a crash departing out of State College PA many years ago.
