We called it the "maroon and gold" Mustang. My dad's buddy took these photos at the 1970 Watsonville (California) airshow. The airplane was owned by George Perez and I think he still has it.

Here is another photo of George's P-51 serial #44-74483

Great shots...the radial powered bike is pretty cool too!.

It is too bad they have basically killed the unlimited air races, used to love going to the Phoenix 500, quite loud and low, too many gozillionaires dying though

There ya' go...thanks Rick!.

As I indicated, I'm not the expert and the only Trojans I've ever had experience 'flying' were the prophylactic type!.
