N51KB

This is an airframe that I have seen off and on for many years. The three pictuires above are all the same airframe taken at various times. The first was in 2007 at the Gathering of Mustangs in Columbus Ohio. The second picture was taken in the mid to late 70s at Hamilton Ontario and the last was taken at Oshkosh in 2022.

N51U

One of my favourite Mustang C/S of all time. A fatal crash in 1990 while wearing this scheme killed the owner/pilot George Enhorning. The aircraft was rebuilt and was involed in a second fatal crash in 1994. As far as I know, she has not been rebuilt since. She was photographed here in the late 70s or early 80s at Hamilton Ontario. Aint Misbehain from post #41 is tucked in beside her.
