One of many Mentors to be seen at the show this year. As noted elsewhere, though she wears 550704 under her tail, this is actually ex-USAF 55-147. Dataplate gives a manufacture date of September 1955; after military service, went to the Civil Air Patrol as N12252 in 1964, retaining that same reg with other owners to the present day.
