Readers' Responses:

Thanks to Joseph Scheil and Jim Church for this information.

N130TL was ex RCAF 9287 with a US serial # 44-73422. This aircraft was reportedly shipped to Haiti, but that was a diversion. The P-51 was actually shipped to El Salvador with 5 other Mustangs from the states. It appears that all were lost - two midairs, two crashed from fuel exhaustion, one shot down and one lost to ground fire. Apparently these P-51s were flown by low-time pilots. It was rumored that N130TL was lost in a midair but this has not been confirmed.

Jim Church adds this info:

N130TL competed in the 1969 Florida Cross-Country race form Frederick, MD to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The pilot of this P-51-25NA was Wallace Garrick and it carried race #4. He placed 5th in that race.
