P-51C Mustang, "Tuskegee Airmen" and "By ReQuest", saw service stateside as a trainer in 1945, then declared surplus after the war ended. It was displayed at Montana State College (now Montana State University) for 40 years before being donated for restoration. The CAF took possession of the aircraft in the late 1980s and was initially restored to flying condition in 2001.
