This thread has me wondering... how many ex-racing warbirds (Mustangs and others) are preserved in their air race livery? Just to keep the "olde tyme" flavor, let's not include those that are currently or were recently active.

I always liked it in this scheme / racing mod:

As for preserved racers how about Clay Lacy's Mustang and Conquest 1. I don't know if it raced but I think Mike Coutches has or had a bright yellow Bearcat N818 (?).

For info on Conquest 1, check out Warbird Digest #48. Didn't Lacy recently fly the Purple People Eater at Reno?

Clay did have his Mustang at Reno, but it was the first time it was flown in 9 years or so. Also same paint scheme it has had since it raced. I hope not but it could be another decade before we see it again.
