 Post subject: P-51 (C-FFUZ) history
PostPosted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 8:59 pm 
I'm not that smart so looking up this Mustang in the registry is out of the question ... :wink:

Where would this P-51 be today, is it still with us, who owned or owns it?

I remember it flying into Sault Ste. Marie, MI many, many years ago and my father giving the owner a free room at his resort for the night. The owner was flying to OSH and told my dad and I to come find him. He was a real nice guy and always tried to stay in touch with dad over the years. I believe he offered dad a ride, but dad declined for some reason. There's a nice shot of her in Spooky's thread on old OSH photos.

I haven't talked to John Anderson in a while and should check in with him.
This is a actual 325th FG combat vet from the MTO and flown by Lt AC Hall of the 318th FG (#60) in 1945. John was considering original narking of full 325th checkerboarding of tail, gear doors and wing tip has #60 (no name), Harry Parker's #57 "Blue Angel" or Grant Smith #00 "Double Nuthin" of the same squadron. Either would be great!
I believe Vlado has flown it a bit.
