1:32 P-51D 44-73420
|
|
|
At the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in 2007, 44-73420 (N7722C) had recently completed a restoration on behalf of owner Jack Croul as a factory-fresh aircraft. At that time the aircraft sported the small battery vent on the lower left engine cowling and a single circular rear-view mirror. By 2014, with a new owner, both of these features had been removed and the aircraft had become NL151AM. The aircraft regularly participates in commemorative flyovers, occasionally with special nose art, e.g. "Chooch II" (not sure if this was marked on both sides) and, for the VE-Day commemoration in 2015, "Dorrie H" (on both sides). This decal represents this Mustang as it appeared at Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in Columbus, Ohio in 2007 and also includes the "Chooch II" and "Dorrie H" nose art.
