Did You Get a Whiff of That Blue Mustang? | Dakota Territory Air Museum's P-51C "Thunderbird" 

Fantastic to see it in it's actual, individual historic colors and not faked up to look like a fighter that fought in Europe.

Absolutely gorgeous. The in flight shots were spectacular!

Congratulations Warren on a fantastic restoration of such a historically significant aircraft. Absolutely stunning!

I saw it on display at Oshkosh, and it was gorgeous!! Such a great restoration! Nice work on the video too! Great in-flight video.

What a piece of Art!

I'm hoping it makes repeat appearances at Oshkosh. :)

PLEASE be at Oshkosh this year! I would love to see this BEAUTIFUL aircraft in person!

Saw this thing fly every day last fall at Reno. What a sweetheart! I would have been sorely tempted to sneak a -9 under the cowl although i may be ignorant in that thought.

Had the privilege to see her at Reno last year. Beautiful just Beautiful.

awesome to see it at kosh last year, hopefully it comes to osh24

King. Main thing I’m wondering about is how much of that history still remains like how much of the original metal and material is in that plane today?

Beautiful Thunderbird. I hope I'll see her again soon

Livery is phenomenal. Best wishes for your continued success.

Your a great steward of a really cool historic P-51C...stay safe.

Stunningly beautiful.

What an incredible plane with such beautiful colors. Thank you for sharing the video.

incredible!

Such a BEAUTIFUL mustang too.

Fantastic! I hope to fly one some day!

Beautiful, so cool!

Saw it at Oshkosh checked out, nice 👍😎🇳🇿

Nice job Sir !

Beautiful airplane!

Wow just wow...

great air to air shots, where were they taken?

Grandfather Glen McIntyre flew one for the marines in Korea

Oh yeah👍

First! Historic plane! That’s amazing!

I wonder why this P-51C has that leading edge wing "kink." I thought that wasn't incorporated in the design until the D model, unless this was just a purposeful modification done in the rebuild.

That is very cool man I’m a mustang nut , I fly rc and I have 3 mustangs ,I love your story never seen this one before so glad u brought it back to life nice done

At :48 there is a picture of planes on the dry lake bed. Don’t see this plane but looks like 2 other mustangs in similar paint scheme. Wonder whose those were.

different fuel?

So who crashed it and when and why? And why was it abandoned there?

It looks to be modified with a "D" wing, the kick out at the fuselage ..........????

Not many A, B or C models flying.

A stunning recreation but not a restoration. The airplane was completely destroyed after the pilot bailed out in 1955. N5528N, known both as Thunderbird and Mr. Alex, was being flown on a hail suppression operation by James M. Cook. After takeoff, one of the Mustang’s main landing gear failed to retract. When he was unable to resolve the problem, Cook flew the Mustang over unoccupied terrain north of Morrill, Nebraska, and bailed out. The airplane crashed, exploded and the wreckage burned. N5528N was completely destroyed.

I saw it at Reno. It was like being in God's postcard.

Jimmy Stewart the legendary Racist's plane ....good to know !
