More Mustang info needed

[Pat Carry]

Which Mustang(s) are at the Fargo Air Museum in North Dakota and which Mustang(s) are at the Warhawk Museum in Idaho?

[Warbirdnerd]

The Fargo Air Museum plays host to Bob Odegaard's P-51 Dazzling Donna or 44-74404.
The War Eagles Air Museum Hosts the following Mustangs...

44-84658
44-11525 Val Halla and 44-84850 Su Su used to be part of the War Eagle collection as well...

Thanks!

I think Warhawk in Nampa has the C model P-51 very nearly complete; Isn't Wareagle in Ep Paso area-- west somewhat?

Oops!
I misread Pat's Post, I thought he was asking about the War Eagles Museum in Santa Terasa New Mexico.
The Idaho Mustang is
A-36 42-83878

PS If you are heading to the Fargo Air Museum this winter, I hear you might get to see F6F-3 Bu41930.... For those of us that think real fighters have round engines ...

Oh yeah, she's there. Saw her in person a month or so ago. Pretty neat seeing a Hellcat and a Zero sitting together in the same hangar (museum) way up here in the "Northwoods".

John Beyl and I were talking just the other day about how odd it is that North Dakota has the highest amount of Surviivng Corsairs per capita of any state/nation on earth!!!

Nerd, didn't we end up at six for a final count? ....and they're all inside a 40 mile radius.

The Hellcat is away from the Fargo Museum temporarily. It left a few weeks ago to get new paint, (British markings), but will return for the balance of the winter when the job is done.

BTW Dennis, exactly how did you decide Fargo is part of the "North Woods"? Did North Dakota Have "The Tree" when you were up there? Every time I go it must be South Dakota's turn to have it...nuthin' but flat open land suitable for.....RUNWAYS!

Yeah John, you're right, there really isn't anything for trees in North Dakota. I guess I was being generous by classing it in our northern tier of states that DO have trees such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Monta...., wait a second, I think EVERY other state on the northern border except North Dakota has trees! But of course that means that N.D. has more than it's share of wind though too.

Oh well, the wind doesn't seem to affect the fabulous Warbird work that comes out of that state.

Long live the Redtail!

Is the Hellcat under new ownership or just on loan???

[John Beyl]

On loan from the Freidkin collection in Chino.
