Looks like 44-72990 is on display, at least as of four years ago - same scheme/markings but the name Miss Lynne added:

That one could be pretty authentic. Late war 4FG. At least there's nothing overtly bogus about it.

Got any pics of the blue-camoed one behind it?

Snake, the one in the foreground (WD-KK?) may be a early to mid 90's shot of Stang Evil. Good question about the "Blue LOU" iteration in the background I'm not familiar with. Looks like N547??, Ghost Squadron?

Ran across a particularly simple elegant white with cheat line, smoked single piece windscreen this morning, N51T.

EDIT

I believe the "Blue Lou" is the CAF Gunfighter.

Thanks Aerojock, I never snapped that Gunfighter used Lou's 413410 E2*C, 361st identity! :wink:
