Just out of curiousity, how many of those blue noser Mustangs out there are accurate reproductions of wartime blue noser paint schemes?

And to narrow it down further, how many would fit the same time frame should they ever get together for a photo op?

Would make a heckuva print wouldn't it?

What I meant was I thought at one time there were two Cripes A Mighty 3rds. :lol:

Wasn't there a photo op years ago with a blue nose F-16?

Get em together for a photo shoot, Heck! Get em together and do a movie!!!! Anyone got a good script laying around for the Bluenosers? Forget the CG except for if you have to blow one up. We have B-17s they can escort and some FW190s they can play with as well!

Looks like there are 11 487th FS Mustangs and only 3 of both the 328th and the 486th.

Here is a fairly early morning photo I took of 4 Blue Nose Mustangs lined up at Oshkosh this year.

It needs a little updating, but here is a photo page of Blue Nosers in the U.S.

Tribute to the 352nd FG

I know a bunch came together in Florida for the making of the last 352nd FG documentary,
but getting all these Bluenosers together would be a great Air Show theme.
