I know that our P-51D went from the RCAF to a buyer in Idaho in early 60's that sold it to a guy in Manson Washington shortly afterwards, from there it went to Fort Wayne Indiana then to Minnesota and was raced as "cutter's capers", it now carries the markings from the 361st fg (incorrect blue) as E2-S with the name "American Beauty"
