A Horse Of A Different Color...

Well doesn't this stallion look odd?

Is this per chance Ser No. 44-73920???

http://www.warbirdregistry.org/p51registry/p51-4473920.html

Any idea if this is a Pacific combat veteran handed over at the end of the war?

I found it on this site http://www004.upp.so-net.ne.jp/hyoshi/air/foreign/air_for.htm

Not easy to read (for me atleast) but can read and see the links

Wouldn't it be something to get your hands on that time capsule.

Shay,

My Chinese is a little rusty- where is that outdoor airpark that is under the 1994 heading at the top? A P-61???

Answered my own question- under the Registry, "Beijing Aeronautical Institute"

That is the museum in downtown Beijing as the registry indicates. Unfortunately that area was closed when I was there...

They had a similar area with tanks that I was able to get to see and photograph.

If I was a betting man I'd say x=14th AF due to the RDF on the fuselage.
23rd, 51st or 311th FG.
