If this is correct, is this simply a new build plane with old A-36 paperwork? If so, was the A-36 wrecked at some point or is there some other story behind it?

Thanks,

Art S.


I'll make it easier... :lol:

It is pretty funny to witness the deafness of some people on this board. I'm not sure what it takes to get it through people's heads that this is not the A-36 we used to have. The Registry has always been wrong about this. I have no idea why it has never been corrected.

For the last time, we sold the A-36 to Bob Collings many years ago..Gary Norville is working on it's restoration, go check it out. It's Gorgeous......Our P-51C was purchased by my Dad in the 70's from Jack Hardwick and had never been on the civil register until we had reason to register it, which was a few months ago. N4651C.

The rumors of the A-36 being chopped up are false and continue to be perpetuated for some reason by people that are totally clueless.

The picture of "Batty Betty" is a picture of Jack Hardwick flying a P-51C that he flew in the Cleavland National Air Races in 1947. Since the P-51B/C being commentedd on was owned by Jack Hardwick I wondered if this was the same aircraft
