23-year old Chuck Lyford flew this all-white P-51D-25 in the 1964 Harold’s Club Transcontinental Trophy Dash from St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida to Reno Nevada. After leading the entire race, a serious of events at the end of the race conspired to have Chuck finish 2nd out of the eight P-51s that started the race. The "Bardahl Special" was unique in this race as Chuck used 150 gallon Skyraider drop tanks to extend his range. Chuck's "Bardahl Special" also pylon raced at Reno, of course without the drop tanks used in the transcon race..
