Couple of questions though, is she a -3 or -5? And what has become of the Vraciu link? The aerialvisuals link seems to suggest the Vraciu history is bogus??

Because Vraciu told me so when I asked him about it at an Aces symposium a few years back. He said that he had been following that airframe for years and was absolutely convinced it was one of his old mounts.

The 23 May 2013 photo in this grouping is a different plane, the one Yanks is restoring now I believe. It is not the TFC/Rod Lewis example.
