This Mustang is actually 44-64265, redesigned as an F-51H from 1948 and spending most of its life at Chanute AFB, IL, firstly as a training frame and latterly on display. In 2010 it was painted to represent the aircraft flown by Claude J Crenshaw with the 82nd FG at Grenier Field, NH, following WWII. Crenshaw flew with 369th FS, 359th FG during WWII and downed seven enemy aircraft with a P-51D also named Louisiana Heatwave. When the museum at Chanute closed in 2015, it was transferred to the Warner Robins collection

Of some 300 P-51 Mustangs still surviving (approximately 175 flying), only five of the P-51H models still exist. 44-64265, taken on strength on October 23, 1945 was an early aircraft used for training and familiarization. Struck off strenght in 1949 at Chanute AFB, IL, it was displayed there (and Logan airport with the MASS ANG 1951 - 54). Stored in 1995, restoration began in 2003 as 44-64195 Louisiana Heat Wave. When the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum closed at the end of 2015, the Mustang was transferred to the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins AFB, GA.

Chanute AFB was still open when this slide was taken. After being used as a ground instructional airframe at Chanute, this a/c was put on display at the base from 1949 through 1992. From 1993 through 2015 it was on display at the Chanute Air Museum. When the museum closed in 2015 it was transferred to the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB Georgia where it is currently on display.
