This is the former "Tangerine" when owned by the late Dr. Burns Byrum from the late 1960's until his death during the late 70's. This photo was probably taken in around 1970-71 (approx.).

This airplane was owned and flown by Doc Byram. A great human being and an excellent pilot. Many is the time Doc would fly between Oshkosh and Marengo, Iowa during the big airshow to tend to his patients. Delivering babies and helping the sick and injured was all in a days work for Doc. He also raced this airplane in the last cross country dash between Milwaukee and Reno. In the picture, John Seidel's P-51 is next to it on the Warbird flight line at Oshkosh. The picture was taken in either 1972 or 1973.

Doc Burns was the kindest person I had the privilage to meet. (He and my Dad were fly buddies.) Does anyone know where his son is? I know him by "Butch", but I'm not sure if that is his real name. Thanks for your help!

I'm responding to Sue (Reams) McGee posting. Doc Byram is my Father-in law. I have been married to his daughter Barb, for 31 years. Butch Byram may be reached at bbyram@dadco.com. Butch lives in Gillette, WY. Butch and I go to the Reno Air races nearly every year. P-51 noise still gives both of us goosebumps.

Thanks I didn't know that Doc had a daughter or I would have looked for her, too. How great that you still go to Reno, and I know what you are saying about the P-51 goosebumps.....thanks again for responding. I can be reached at smcgee@aceinet.com
