Double the Mustang, Double the Fun! At one time, aerospace engineers dreamed up the idea to take the legendary P-51 Mustang and combine it with another P-51 Mustang to create the ultimate long range escort fighter….then it was actually built. Meet the XP-82 Twin Mustang. While production Twin Mustangs were powered by Allison engines, the prototype XP-82 still retained the Merlin power plants of the legendary P-51. Take a listen as she taxis in after its one appearance at Oshkosh 2019. Really tho

Our P-51 Mustang served with the 353rd Fighter Group during World War II. Nicknamed the “Slybird Group,” the unit used a bold nose scheme of black and yellow stripes with three rows of checkerboard pattern. When pilots struggled to identify friendly aircraft in combat, five more rows of checkerboard were added, making the Mustangs easier to spot during dogfights. #FHCAM #WWII #WWIIHistory #History #USAirForce #Warbirds | Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum
