During the early evening of 16 October, Warren Pietsch took the Texas Flying Legends Museum's North American P-51C Mustang 43-24907 up for its first test flight following a three-year restoration with AirCorps Aviation at Bemidji, north-west Minnesota. Two days later, the rare C-model Mustang arrived at Ellington Field, Houston, where it will take up residence in the Texas Flying Legends hangar alongside eight other World War Two fighters, including two P-51Ds. Among the many previous fighter restorations completed by AirCorps Aviation is the combat veteran P-51D 44-63675 Sierra Sue Ⅱ (see Aeroplane December 2015).
