Anyone recognize the markings (as to unit or pilot)?

If anyone's interested in such things, this is formerly N47FT(N74FT? I'm not sure) which had a forced landing at Reno in 1999 or so. Glad to have her flying and hopefully remaining in NZ.

Last time I saw her she was still in the overall green scheme from her previous life.

And she has had her first public display in NZ (at Warbirds Over Wanaka). Expect more pictures as people get home from their big weekend.
