Photo Comment

North American P-51D Mustangs in Swedish Air Force colours are very rare, as only two are known to be left in Sweden, where the type was called J26. Most of these aircraft were sold to Latin America after retirement in 1954. This is the only S26 reconnaissance version left, ex USAAF P-51D 44-72112, it served with F21 during its nine year career with the Swedish Air Force.
