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 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
