Army Air Force P-63F 43-11719 was bought surplus after WWII by Harold Pemberton and flown in the 1946 Thompson Trophy Race registered NX1719. Registered N1719, N443 and N447AG over the years, it raced at Reno registered N6763 in the late 70s. The fighter was acquired by the Confederate Air Force (later the Commemorative Air Force) circa 1980. It was the last surviving of two P-63Fs built. Sadly she was destroyed in a midair collision with B-17 N7227C on 12 November 2022. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
