I believe this photo was taken at the Hamilton (Ontaio) Airshow in the early 1980's. I have one photo of this P-51 dated from June of 1984.

Martin is correct. Jeff, can you email me your picture of this P-51? Does any else have any other pictures of N51JL 44-73849?
Thanks

I flew in this plane in 1984 out of Pontiac Mi using Ly-Con aviation as the FBO. I'm a retired Air Traffic controller and was stationed there during this period. Knew Doc Levine and used to hang out at the airport bar eating steak and drinking beer :)
