Which Mustang is this?

Thu Jan 19, 2012 9:55 am

Found this photo on eBay (Item #200702511491). It looks like a display somewhere in the USA. The slide is dated 1973. Any thoughts on which one this might be?

Pretty colors!

They need to paint the clamshells green.

I think it is 44-74216 at Battleship Park, Mobile AL, as it was painted years ago.

Thanks Guys! You all did such a good job on the Mustang, maybe someone can tell me about this slide of a Zero on display in the US in the 50s or 60s... :wink: eBay Item 270892033477
Could it be the one that was on display outside of an antique shop in Atlanta?

Look at the the left side of the Zero - another plane's wingtip, in silver and squared off. Looks like a '50 Chrysler on the street.

Here are some crappy pics I took of her in August, 2010. The hurricane damage has been completely repaired..in fact the entire museum has made an incredible comeback. It's actually better now than it was when I first visited, a month before Katrina. The Kingfisher back in the corner was still awaiting her turn in the repair queu..I don't know if she's been fixed yet or not.

I just noticed..looks like the inner gear doors are green. Sorry, Valdo....
