Jim Church: The location of case #71 MUST be the Tillamook NAS museum. In that case, my guess would be that it is a Mustang that was statically restored by museum staff from what I think was an airframe which had crashed during the war in Europe (I think). I don't recall where I had read this, or what the serial number for this airframe is, but I do remember that much of the airframe is made from fiberglass. There is no mention of it on the Tillamook Museum web site, but I know I read about it on line or in a magazine recently.


SndGld497: The somewhere is The Tillamook Naval Air Station blimp hanger . This old base has been closed for years, it is now the home of the Tillamook Air Museum. Many neat and rare aircraft including a Grumman Duck, Catalina and Boeing Guppy. I don't know the ID of that P51D however, and when I last saw it , it did not appear complete.


Rangoon: THIS PHOTO OF THE P-51 MUSTANG, IS LOCATED IN THE OLD BLIMP HANGER LOCATED IN TILLAMOOK, OREGON AT THE AIR MUSEUM.


Greg Bolyard: This p-51 is at the tilliamook, forgive the spelling, Oregon air museum. This mustang is not in flying condition , in fact it is empty inside ,and used to be a gate guardian at some air base somewhere.


Joseph Scheil: It's the Tillamook.
