Anyone work out why the B24 seems to a few thousand feet off the deck?
Thanks for the link to this site WMLute.

Gotta be the Minnesota based CAF P51C.

When I was 15 or so back in the mid 70s that bird was unrestored and the fuselage and wings were leaning against the hanger of Jack Sandberg in Crystal Minnesota where i took flying lessons.  I snuck into the cockpit from underneath one day and vividly remember reading that Data plate on the right edge of the cockpit saying it was built in Dallas, Texas.  I spent many a day trying to figure out how I was going to haul away the pieces of that 51 without being seen :)

It didnt' look quite that clean back in 1975

Ugh.  :furious 

P51C is exactly the same as the P51B.  P51B built at the Inglewood California factory, P51C built at the Dallas Texas factory.  Both the B and C Mustang used the British built Malcom hood.  Not all B or C Mustangs got them.   We used to have the factory installed "coffin" hood modeled in AH.  We'd like to believe because we asked nicely, and it was an attempt to improve visibility like the real Malcom hood did,  HTC added the Malcom when they redid the Mustang Models.
