There was a nice story on the past/present aircraft and pilots in Texans and Trojans (NATA magazine) a few years ago. Stoney, you out there???? As I remember the original was a P-51B and the nose art was changed around on the new one.

Here are a few shots of N151HR/44-74524. I think the nose are may have since been repainted, but I have not yet been able to confirm this.

Cheers,
