Looks like a North American NA-50 / P-64. They were based on the AT6.Originally Posted by buckshotbarlow

I wonder if I've seen that chugging around the skies over Parker..... That Sea Fury - I know I've seen that one! That thing moves like a bat out of hell, and it sounds like it's hardly straining, just loafing along. For years I swore it was a P-47, and people told me I was nuts, there's no known P-47's in Colorado. A very impressive example of big radial goodness.

I worked on Wally Fisk's home in Minnesota years ago. He was working on restoring a twin mustang that he had bought from Walter soplata (think that was hi name) which would have been the only flying example in the world. He sold off a large portion of his collection not long after including the twin mustang project.. have never heard what happened to it or what state it is currently in.Whats better than one P-51?

It's said that Hermann Goering during the early part of WWII remarked that..."If Allied planes ever bomb Berlin, you can call me Meyer."
Of course the Allies eventually made it to Berlin, escorted by P-51 Mustangs. In response to that, Goering said..."When I saw Mustangs over Berlin, I knew the jig was up."
Taking that quote, I saw it a fitting addition to this photo of American GI and Luftwaffe reenactors admiring a Mustang.
