P-63 in Miss. 1973-74

Tue Apr 26, 2005 3:15 pm

While driving down Hwy 61 to the south, toward Natchez, in about 1973-74, I was surprised to see a P-63 parked at a small duster strip on the west side of the highway. It was under one of those lean-to type open air shelters you see a lot at small airports.

Anyone familiar with this aircraft, and where it might be now?

Thanks for the info.

Hi Walt,

Was that at Rolling Fork just North of Vicksburg on the 61? Could it be this one? Photos taken from the Warbird Registry!

I actually like it in the old CAF "in-house" colors. Like this:

Does any old CAF member out there have photos of the planes in the White/red/blue scheme?

That look like it, TJ. Thanks.

I wasn't sure of the exact location, just recalled that it was in Mississippi above Natchez. It was in the green paint scheme when I saw it.
