The Warbird Heritage Foundation acquired 44-72086 in Dec 2008 and it has quietly been under restoration to airworthy. The Mustang is close to being ready for it's first flight since 1996. Visit our website for more information about the restoration of "Baby Duck".

Very nice, through my involvement with another 353rd FG marked Mustang I have been lucky enough to fly out in and out of the wartime 353rd base at Raydon. Can't wait to see the finished aircraft.

Looking forward to Oshkosh this year. I think bringing the Mustang up is in our plans. Give us a call or an e-mail to schedule a time to come out and visit. Sharing these birds is the best part of our job.
