English: 111th Fighter Squadron - North American F-51D-25-NA Mustang 44-73656 Later sold and on civil registry as N5073K with Duncan Aeromotive, Galveston, TX.
A mystery may be emerging here! According to an article in a 1990 edition of 'FlyPast' magazine, this aircraft became N5073K in February 1958 and was sold (probably illegally) to the EL Salvador AF in 1968 as FAS406. The article goes on to say that it returned to USA in 1974 under the false identity of 44-12473, was registered N32FF and later N2151D, being by 1990 painted as 44-14273 'Moonbeam McSwine'. However, both N5073K and N2151D appear to be current in the Landings database, N5073K being quoted as 44-73656 and N2151D being quoted as 'P-51D 44-12473', although 44-12473 is/was a P-51K! The current FAA database lists the airfrme as being 44-12473. Aircraft was repainted as 44-14273, but the numbers got transposed on the registration document as 44-12473. |
