A significant piece of Chinese military history, this Mustang is one of nine that flew over Beijing on October 1st of 1949 for the Founding of the People's Republic of China parade. Displayed outdoors as seen here and exposed to the elements for many years until the museum was upgraded and it was finally moved indoors.
