Crew chiefs with their squadron's "hack" airplane, a War Weary (WW on tail) P-51C Mustang with British "Malcom hood" sliding bubble canopy installed. Every squadron had at least one hack that pilots and staff used for proficiency and errand-running between bases. Hacks, although classified as obsolete or over their combat airframe time limit, were often very nice airplanes. Some were modified into two-seat configuration to allow rides for local mayors, nurses, crew chiefs on morale rides, visiting staff officers, etc.

Found this on Facebook this morning. We mourn the loss of two brave Tuskegee Airmen, Clarence Huntley Jr. and Joseph Shambrey, who passed away in Los Angeles Jan. 5. Thank you for your service gentlemen...blue skies and tailwinds!
I actually helped restore this airplane through the St. Paul CAF and was lucky enough to fly in several different airplanes while working there. I believe I also met both of these gentlemen during one of their many PR gatherings. Great men!
