Swastika victories transferred from pilots WWII mustang to National Guard H model for plubicity & recruiting. These two did an outstanding job to restore for static display. .
Louisiana heatwave is respect for the pilot who flew this warbird in defense of our beautiful country my family is military my dad and son are purple heat recipient's i love seeing the old birds restored
This P51H was transferred to the Museum of Aviation in 2015 so it can still be admired by all. A superb static restoration is important as it doesn't sit in boxes waiting for parts and big funding. It also is not at risk by being flown. This P-51H really is an endangered species so this certainly is the best use of limited time and money. A job well done!
I went to the USAF aircraft structural repair school there in 1975 (Chaunte AFB ) I was on my way home from Ohio (2015) and ended up real close to Chanute so I got off the highway to go see the base. I found out it had been closed down. I just wanted to see where I had learned the craft of sheet metal that has allowed me to build my own airplane. And now building an other..............
the air force sold one of their P47's on static display here in San Antonio with an agreement that something else would be substituted. It had been sitting outside for decades and required extensive work to be sure, but @ least it will fly again.
Well done ! Pray tell, where did you obtain drawings / tech data for the 'H' ? And what is the history of the plane ? Apparently, only 500 something were actually built.
i remember reading some where the air force came with a saw and cut the dash out to removed the instruments that had radium in them they show no mercy to this very rare bird i can understand why they want them back but to saw them out ?
Got to fly in the late Bill Hogans P51H in 1975. A graduation present from my dad. Bill did his airshow with me in the back seat. That aircraft is now owned by the Whititing bros and Ive heard its in the EAA museum.
this one is in good shape but still belongs to the Air Force so flying it or selling it not going to happen in fact a few years ago the Air Force came and cut on all the flight instruments because of the radium on the face of them for want i can remember this was a I/A aircraft at the end of it life to train new tech the H models where taking out of service before the D model there was not parts for them try may look like D model but a lot of parts are not the same
They should have checked, they would have found that you should not paint the exhaust as it will burn. I have never seen a 51 with painted exhaust. Also there were no H's in WW2 so the Swastika emblems would not be realistic.
Per the video, they replicated the paint scheme of a post-war H model flown by a colonel who painted his H model in his WWII D model scheme. He flew the H around to recruiting events.
it will never fly as is- why not just fiberglass a complete a/c and put the real thing in service. no one can tell in a museum setting anyway wake up! real BS
Thats complete dedication. This will be a great example for many generations to admire.
awesome work can't wait to see it fly
A magnificent achievement by two guys who wouldn't quit.
Nice job 👏 finding parts was hard. Yep I found the that on the bends the Hydraulic do Leak mostly around a bend line.if that helps
The best of the production P-51s.

Thank you for you're time gentlemen
👍 Awesome restoration on the P-51 Mustang!
Went to USAF aircraft structural repair school there (Chanute AFB) in 1984. Good job guys, well done!
I saw this plane on display in Warner Robins Ga last week. It looks great!
He said to make it look like a functioning engine. In other words, it does not work, and can't fly. Should have been made operational.
great restoration guys@pics.-thanks.
Well done, Norm and Curt!

Bravo, gentlemen, bravo!!

Wow. I led and graduated my jet engine class there back in 91. Gonna make a trip to Wright-Patt and thought I'd make a side trip myself. Guess not.

Beautiful restoration work. Better than what it would have been just out of the factory.
The paint scheme is atrocious, but it's still a P51, and i love it!
May 20, 2018---Museum was closed 2015, with aircraft going to other places.

Well done ! Pray tell, where did you obtain drawings / tech data for the 'H' ? And what is the history of the plane ? Apparently, only 500 something were actually built.
This one does not fly? The motor does not rev up?
The model H was produced post war ?
Amazing job dude. Did ya use original paint colors ? Inside the engine? How many P51 do still fly ?

Kinda sad it won't even be started up.

Is that the H in British markings?
So this was restored to a static state?
So from what I've heard, the engine is not functioning & the airframe is not airworthy; correct?
this one is in good shape but still belongs to the Air Force so flying it or selling it not going to happen in fact a few years ago the Air Force came and cut on all the flight instruments because of the radium on the face of them for want i can remember this was a I/A aircraft at the end of it life to train new tech the H models where taking out of service before the D model there was not parts for them try may look like D model but a lot of parts are not the same
Took me 15years get the Merlin. Right.
Who owns her? Might be willing to invest - if she goes up for sale let me know.

Is this a flyable aircraft?
War wings Remastered
Any update on this bird?
I was just there yesterday. Great job guys. Nice museum there also.
I believe it was moved to an air museum somewhere in CA last fall after the Chanute museum closed...
Sorry, I was mistaken. It was moved to Robbins AFB, GA
Correct me if I wrong but didn't,t they only build 10 P 51 H,s before order was cancelled

Ah ...come on...fly the son-of a-bitch. It ain't nothing but a display if it don't fly.
give it to someone that can get it airworthy..... WASTE YOU HAVING IT,,,,,
FANTASIC FFIGHTER AIRCRAFT TUSCHEGE RED TAILSM FLEW THIS FIGHTER
Incorrect. The H model saw no combat with any group during WW@ or Korea. It never served with the 332nd "Red Tails".
They should have checked, they would have found that you should not paint the exhaust as it will burn. I have never seen a 51 with painted exhaust. Also there were no H's in WW2 so the Swastika emblems would not be realistic.
Per the video, they replicated the paint scheme of a post-war H model flown by a colonel who painted his H model in his WWII D model scheme. He flew the H around to recruiting events.
Even then it, is still a bullshit paint job.
it will never fly as is- why not just fiberglass a complete a/c and put the real thing in service. no one can tell in a museum setting anyway wake up! real BS
is it in flying condition?
