Campbell Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm doing some real world flight training and saw this picture in the hallway. I thought it was way to cool not to share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseback Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 78th FG had by far the coolest unit markings for Mustangs in the ETO. Ironically, I believe that they flew P-51s in combat for the shortest period of all 8th AF fighter units, converting from P-47s in the late fall of 1944. Undoubtedly this was to limit the jealousy of the other Mustang drivers. cheers horseback [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Here's your new Mustangs boys--you can learn to fly 'em on the way to the target!"

VZ_342 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Beautiful pic! ...Try to get another with less reflections (hint: turn off the hall lights), also post the title of it and the photographer, so people can buy a print. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! Haha. Yea I think the company might frown upon that! There some more here that I will have to get pics of. They have some killer P51 pics all over the place.
