This very patriotic coloured Mustang 'Miss America' (former 44-74536) is the most widely recognized Reno air racer. It has raced over 21 years and won the Reno Air Race back in 1994. Please note also the colour of the pilot's helmet.

Difficult to photograph clearly, given its suspended position in the crowded American Air Museum at Duxford. The original "Etta Jeanne II" was a P-51K variant (with an Aeroproducts propeller in place of the P-51D's Hamilton Standard one), which was lost when it ditched in the North Sea on 29 December 1944. The pilot, Capt. Huie H. Lamb, Jr., survived and was, fortunately, picked up from the frigid waters by an RAF Walrus amphibian.

As this P-51D saw service with both the USAAF and the Swedish Air Force it was restored with markings from both services. The yellow K4, the Swedish country insignia, and aircraft name "Gul Kalle" are all markings the a/c wore during its time in Sweden. The left side of the a/c has the aircraft name "Sierra Sue II".
