I never thought I'd ever see a North American TP P51-C aka the Razorback. Must be a very rare beast in itself, let alone being a C series. I did find a Curtiss TP-40N Warhawk at Fantasy of Flight. It's serial is: N923.

The colour scheme of this Mustang is very similar to that of The Tuskegee Airmen (or Red Tails). Kermit Weeks at Fantasy of Flight, Florida, USA has a P51-C in liveried in their honour called "INA The Macon Belle". Serial: NX1204. I would like to know who Ina was and if 'she' was a pilots sweetheart from Macon, Georgia, GA.
