Any latest updates from the restoration of the "Blue" Lou IV P-51 ? Last I read was they were doing gear swing test.

I second that. Not much info out there on the restoration of Lou IV.

This one is a bit of a mystery. Nothing on the FB page since 2012. If you go to This link, they list three Mustangs including blue Lou IV – not sure if this is “for sale” listings?
Where did you hear about the gear swing?

Thanks Al & Mark, I'm trying to find out where I read about the gear swing, ( too much eggnog, I guess

) I think it might have come from an British Mag (?) under snips or some sort

I'll keep searching.......... geek

Kinda surprise how she seems to duck under the P-51 Radar ! Just hoping ALL The Best where/who ever she ends up! No matter what colors she wears !

I visited the owner a couple of years ago. He has enough parts to build three airplanes. The centerpiece, "Lou IV", looks real nice, quality workmanship.
Doesn't get much notice because it is off the beaten path. Wish I could've spent more time up there. They have been pretty good about updating their Facebook page.
