| I just gave "Olive" to my grandson the astronomer. It's flight time at the cabin has come to a close. Olive now flys missions in Judson's bedroom. Redoing the air museum in the cabin. Dedicating the air space to biplanes only. Can someone tell me what type of Mustang I have built? |

| For all good intentions I'd say it is a P51D. |

| Thank you kind sir. You have supplied me with my factoid of the day. I never realized that there were so many variants to the P-51. Part of modeling aero planes is learning their history. |

| Hay, keep the power dry... |

| If anyone is interested, there's a documentary series on Netflix called "Plane Resurrection." The first episode details the five year quest of a Britsh aeronautical engineer to completely restore a derelict P-51D that he found in New Zealand. He not only had to fabricate parts for the plane but rebuilt the Merlin engine as well. A reunion with its original ace pilot caps it all off. Great show. |
