P-51D Spaghetti Factory...

[T J Johansen]

"Best Spaghetti Ravioli & Steaks in Town - 3555 Geurneville Rd - Santa Rosa, Calif" proclaims the legend written on P-51D N6526D during an airshow at Sonoma in 1975.

Does anyone have an insight to this advertising and the other lettering on the side of the Mustang?

Well, that's very curious
That is Lloyd Hamilton's Sea Fury behind it, so that would be a confirmation of the general time and location.
But the history on that Mustang - which is now the air racer "Voodoo" - doesn't put it near there during that time period .
And that address is now an apartment building.

The address was wrong in the description. (I wish the photo was larger.) The Spaghetti Factory was at 3535 Guerneville Rd. That business is long gone but the building is, and has been almost forever, still an ongoing restaurant. I like the Mustang's current paint scheme better though

Maybe check FlightAware?
