F-6 in America

[Boghopper]

The F-6 version of the P-51 is a rare bird, i'm sure their's one airworthy in the states, i'm interested to see the small differences between them. Who's got some close up shots of it????

F-6's came in various versions - besides the earlier versions (F-6A, F-6B - Allison engined and the F-6C - Merlin-engined) there were F-6D's and F-6K's converted from the standard P-51D's and P-51K's - they varied in many details, not all of them had three camera ports, some field-converted ships even had odd camera positions....

"Lady Margaret" is a good example for the standard 3-port conversion - what exactly do you need ? I have quite some material on the Tac Recon Mustangs.....

Ah... looks like pics from Indy. I was hanging around the airplane most of that weekend. Funny to see John Lane's reflection in the last picture!

You go ahead and check out John Lane...I'm still stuck on the naked blonde in the first pic.
