I'm new to this website, so I hope I'm starting in the right place. I'm looking for information on one particular F-6D Mustang. The F-6D I'm looking for information on is "Shady Lady" of the 109th TRS, 67th TRG, I think that a few others and I have zeroed in on the serial number being 44-14699. I've also found this about the serial online: 44-14699 (F-6K, c/n 109-28332) to Swiss AF in 1948 as J-2093. I'm trying to figure out what her code letters were during the war VX-?. I have pictures of "Shady Lady" I can share, from during and post WWII, I just don't know yet (haven't looked in the FAQ) how to post pictures on this website. I want to submit this recon bird to Kits World Decals for them to make model decals for the 1/32 Tamiya P-51D/K to make an F-6D with it. I like this bird because she's a recon bird with nice nose art too. I have a soft spot for fighter/recon birds of all nationalities from WWII. I have plans to build a lot of them, Mustangs, Spitfires, Bf 109s & Fw 190s.
Please let me know if we have the serial messed up and if anyone can enlighten me on the last letter of her Squadron code.
Thanks for your time,
Brady
