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.
