I don't know for sure, but on American Aero's facebook page there is a series of photo's of the event and in one it looks like Elliot Cross... I'm pretty sure he is the one who test flew Selby Burch' s mustang when American Aero finished it...

Fantastic news! Can't wait to see this one all painted up. What I wouldn't give to see all the Allison powered 'stangs gathered together in one place. Or better yet, all the high back Mustangs currently flying. The last few years has seen a real resurgence of early model Mustangs, more than I ever thought possible when I started going to airshows back in the '80s.
