If that Mustang shot was taken at Fighter Rebuilders then it is probably Stephen Greys "twighlight Tear".
Nice photos, got any more?

Yes it was taken inside the Fighter Rebuilders shop. Here are a couple more shots:

Does Provenance still own that since the last buyer got killed?

Are there plans to fly the P-59?

OK...I got a little confused with all the "Who owns what" back and forth.
Who owns the P-38 and what was it's previous paint scheme?

Yes it will be a flyer. When I talked to it's crew back in June, they wanted to have it ready by Oct, but it doesn't look like they made it.

Mudge that 38 belongs to Jack Croul(spell :?:

) Its in the same basic paint scheme it had before he owned it, the invasion stripes are new I think. You have pics of when you went to Chino airshow, same one.

Thanks Steve,
You know me. Anytime NEW and P-38 appear in the same sentence, I get all tingly up my leg. (Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah. Now I remember. :shock:

)

Mudge the tingly :oops:
