The first picture has a TF-51 project in the background with a scratch built P-51C fuselage in the foreground. The C is owned by Jack Roush. The lady in the picture is Lori Atckinson - daughter of Art Teeters and General Manager of Cal-Pacific Airmotive in Salinas, CA. The picture of the wing in the jig is also from there.
The picture of the complete Mustang with the yellow and black spinner is Tony Banta's P-51 N451TB which had its final assembly done at Airmotive Specialties also at Salinas. This company is owned by Art Teeters son, Dave Teeters. This plane first flew in March of 2003 and has been a regular at airshows in California along with Banta's P-40E and F8F-1 Bearcat. The Mustang is scheduled to be on the cover of an upcoming issue of Air Classics - due out on a month or two.
The pictures come from a local EAA chapter who had a field trip out to the airport.
