: idea who it belongs to? Located in Minden, Nevada?
Kinda cool, this...but the backward fin flash from the CAF Wildcat has now migrated to the aft end of this Mustang...among other whimsical aspects here! (The "RCAF" titling on the side, eg., started to appear around 1959, three years after the last RCAF 'stangs were paid-off). Looks like a rather pretty '51, though...and it's nice to see someone opt for even a fanciful Canadian scheme given that so many of the surviving 51s are ex-RCAF.
