Parked at Warbird Alley during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. This Mustang was built in 1944 as a P-51D and taken on USAAF charge as s/n 44-473142. The aircraft was first registered as N6173C in civilian hands, changing owners and registration several times over the years. It was converted to a TF-51D in 2001. The Mustang previously carried the name "E Pluribus Unum." It is painted in the markings of the 487th FS, 352nd FG, which had Maj George Preddy and Lt Col John C. Meyer as its top ETO aces. The "Blue Noses" were awarded a DUC for their defense of Airfield Y-29 during Op Bodenplatte. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
