Why does the P-51 have D Day stripes and post war insignia?

IIRC it has something to do with paying tribute to all Mustang drivers from all the years the USAF flew her. Of all the Mustangs I see it is my least favourite c/s . For a more accurate explananation you can search P51 Quicksilver history.

I'm gonna tentatively give you a like for this picture, you could'a cropped the crap in the bottom right out of the shot, Jeff, but the other reason for giving you a like is because of the DC-8 in the background! (This is done with tongue firmly planted in cheek, no less...!)

What aircraft type is that in #248?

Douglas DC-8-72CF

Thanks Wojtek. Not heard of that one.

The purchasing or leasing of a DC-8 was considered by the Polish Air Lines "Lot" twice. It was at the end of 70' and then at the end of 80'. In 1987/1988 the "Lot" used one DC-8 that was chartered from another firm because of the temporary suspension of operations with the Il-62M planes. I saw the DC-8 at the Okęcie airport at that time.
