Just saw this aircraft (N651JM 'Obsession') last week. It's home is Spruce Creek Fly-in Community near New Smyrna Beach, FL. Still looks exactly the same. Tony

Just because it looks like a pregnant guppy is no reason to be mean spirited. I bet you would say yes to a ride if one were offered.!

Now pretty much a museum piece, this aircraft is based at the EAA museum. Has not flown for years but the engine is run up every once in a while.

What is the story behind blue P-51's?

Personal choice.
Misrepresentation of colours from black and white photographs from WW2.
Or were there really blue Mustangs ?

Great pictures Jeff

Stems from interpretation pics of the Bottisham 4 I believe Karl. There's a good article by Dana Bell on the topic and he makes the case for the blue colour. Archival Show and Tell #7 - Not Those Blue Mustangs Again by Dana Bell
