This was discussed not too long ago but I cannot find the thread.
Mainly looking for pictures of the airplane(was only one converted?) and the hook installation.
Thanks.

I was talking with my friend George Roberts and he told me he was flying a mustang in the pac and saw some carrier types doing landing practice on a flattop. he formed up with them as tail end charlie and flew the pattern. when he was on final he saw the quizzical looks turn to fear as he came by. He over flew the deck at a safe altitude and got quite a laugh about it....and a dressing down later.

Um, no. Better send me a PM with the email address. It might've been caught by my spam filter.
