Photo Comment

This P-51 was flown by the USAF as 44-73349 but became surplus at the end of WWII. In November 1948 this plane, along with 129 others were delivered to the Swiss AF. In April 1958, J-2113 was struck-off and allocated for preservation, unfortunately, all the other P-51s were scrapped. This frame was originally at Dübendorf but was loaned to the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz in Lucerne in 1975, returning in 1987.
