Originally this G-2A flew with the Yugoslav AF as 23170. I was really happy to see it display and illustrates the range of interesting aircraft that were to be seen at AirPower 2022.

This beautifully presented Mustang made its first post-restoration flight on 26 Sep 2020 and has a widely-travelled history. After delivery to the USAAF as 44-72059, it was acquired by the Swedish Air Force in 1945. Ten years later, it was sold to Nicaragua and eventually salvaged in the US in 1963. It found its way back to Latin America for service with the Bolivian Air Force from 1966 which whom it remained until 1995. Repatriated to the US again, restoration was began in 2002 and not completed till 2020, impressively finished to represent an P-51 of 424 (City of Hamilton) Sqdn RCAF. The aircraft is privately-owned by Hannu Halminen.

This P-51D served with the RCAF between 1950 and 1956 (as 9245) before sale to the US. It then flew with the Israeli Air Force between 1959-1964 before returning to the US. It's been flown as a warbird since the mid-1960s in the USA and Europe (1991-2022) carrying the registrations N7098V, NL7098V, D-FTSI, N7098V and D-FTSI). In April 2022 it was registered to Dorssers USA Inc, Colcord, OK as N551TF (the second P-51D to carry this registration). It was flown by Canadian pilot Mackenzie Cline at Airshow London 2022.
