| from the looks of the paint scheme i'd say dig in the pacific theater files to find an exact name. |

This was Bob Loves N576GF 44-73079. The left side has the code RJ*L, for Robert J. Love and the right side had C*DJ for the co-owner, Cliff D. Jolle. It is now N151BL owned byh Bill Dause. |

| Dick Phillips is correct, that is Bob Love's "Illegitimus Non Carborundum" (don't let the bastards get you down) Mustang. After Love died in early 1986 the airplane was sold to SF 49er Russ Francis. |

| By the way, Cliff Jolley was an F-86 pilot alongside Bob Love in Korea and I think was also an ace, as was Love. I saw Jolley, in a wheechair and clearly ailing, being escorted around the pits at Reno in 1985. Love was racing Jack Hovey's faux-RAF schemed P-51 that year. |
