44-74950. She went to the Van Nuys Mustang Pilots Club and crashed in 1971. Identity was transferred to a CA-18 airframe that now flies as N51DT, the magnificent "Slender, Tender & Tall".

Bought from early RCAF release by Mel Paisley, former P-47 Thunderbolt pilot. Broke down At Great Falls, Montana in 1963 and I replaced the engine and annual and it was sold to Mustang pilots club at Van Nuys, Ca Later crashed on the high desert when a wing separated during aerobatics

Correction: My earlier comment , first sentence should read bought by Mel Paisley etc. Delete the "from early RCAF release"
Sorry about that.
