I was at Falcon Field today to look at a T-6 and the owner let me look at his Mustang.

It is actually N335. It was restored at Gosshawk 15 years ago and never flown.

Any particular reason its just rotting as a hanger queen?

I'm sure seals and stuff go bad when not ran or operated at least once in a while right?

Mind boggling thing...but those kinds of aircraft are out there. I know there is a 450 Stearman at a local field that has not seen the light of day in at least 25 years....

Airplane in a barn of the future!

Thanks for sharing Matt!

I thought it was "her" Mustang. I was under the impression that Gosshawk had restored the airplane on behalf of E.D. Weiner's widow. No?

What a waste of machinery.

It's one thing to restore an airplane to flying status and put it in a museum. I don't like that, but can understand it, at least people get to see it. Restore it to flying status and let it rot in a hanger, that's just plain stupid.

Thanks for posting. If that's what rotting looks like I'll take two!
