We already know that P-51 #1 (the one closest to you) is Max Hoffman's 44-74832
N6310T. The 2nd was CF-USA, Don Plumb 44-74850. This P-51 crashed 1975 in Texas
(Plumb k).
Thanks! to Vlado Lenoch for this information.
The 4th P-51 is 45-11586, N5324V owned by Walter Oakes based in DuPage, IL.
Aircraft was restored as "Death Rattler", N51HT and owned by Harry
Tope who was killed in this P-51 in 1990. The 5th P-51 is 44-74756, N2112 owned
by Bill Ross in '67 also based in DuPage, IL. This aircraft was later
registered as N68QF, Ken Bernstein, race #33, "Miss Susy Q".
Bernstein crashed this aircraft in Mojave 1976 (Bernstein k). The 6th P-51 is
not a P-51 but a Fairey Firefly TTMk6, CF-BDH from Canadian Warplane Heritage.
Perhaps lost in an accident in 1977?
