After its USAF career when it flew as 44-72400 this P-51D became involved in air races with different owners since 1946! In 1952 it made an attempt on the piston airspeed record with race number 45. In 1972, it was acquired by the Bradley Air Museum in derelict condition and subsequently restored for display. It still looks very shiny here in 2016, displaying its old race number 45.
