Atlantic crossing for P-51s

摘要

The European population of North American P-51D Mustangs will increase by two for the 2013 season, with examples having recently been acquired by German and French owners. First to arrive was 44-73254/N6328T, which was uncrated at its new home at Degerfeld Airport in Baden-Wurtemberg, south-west Germany, in late February for new owner Wilhelm Heinz. The former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter, which has worn a pseudo 361st Fighter Group colour scheme for 30-odd years, was previously based at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and has already had the name on the cowling changed from Buster to Louisiana Kid.
