One of the two P-51s at Seymour Johnson show was marked as Col Blakeslee's 413779/WD-C
Does anyone know which one this is please?
Thanks,

I don't believe it could have been Cavanaugh's Mustang. I could've sworn I saw it sitting in Nelson Ezell's shop last weekend...still in pieces.

Only mustang I've seen in photos from the show was Glamorous Gal.

Thanks for the answers so far.
There were two P-51s, the other was indeed 413903/WD-L.
I'm beginning to wonder if it might have been a replica, but if it was it was good one!

I saw the same aircraft today (two years after the initial post here) at the 2011 airshow and wonder if it could be:

It looked authentic, didn't have an N number (so it didn't fly in), and it would make sense for Seymour Johnson to paint the aircraft in a 4th Fighter Wing paint scheme.
