Ex N51UR, N51VW, N270MS, N332, N5481V, USAAF 45-11471. Not quite as it seems (as with many warbirds) since N332 broke up in flight on 21 August 1979, and was destroyed in the fatal crash that followed. It was "rebuilt" with the fuselage of IDF/AF 69 and the wings of IDF/AF 28, as a racer (84/Stilletto) featuring a cut-down fuselage and leading edge radiators. It was returned to stock TF-51D configuration between 1995 and 1997. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
