"Looks like it's actually N835J a slight number change from the original N335J. When Ed Weiner sold it he maintained the original N# for himself. If you look closely, the 9 doesn't pan out because the upper circle does not match the the centerline of the numbers when extended out to the base of the lower arc. If I'm right, it should be s/n 44-73849, crashed in 1984."

I believe you're right Sully. At the time of the photo, Aero Enterprises registered it N835J. The P-51 passed through several hands until landing with Jack Levine in 1974. He registered it N51JL. He was killed in this P-51 in 1984. The aircraft struck a wire at low level flight and then crashed.

My uncle Gene O'Brien was friends of Bob at Riverside Airport. Gene and Bob bought an Aztec together. Bob's hangar was across from Gene's I believe. My father always wanted to fly in it but it was apart whenever we came up to Tulsa. I knew Bob also had an F86. I miss Gene and your dad for that matter. Met him a few times when I was very young.
