EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the iconic North American P-51D Mustang N5428V, also known as CY-U Gunfighter, during its visit to Midland Airport on 8-10 October 1992. The Mustang, with manufacturing serial number msn 122-39723, is a beloved vintage aircraft that is part of the extensive collection of the Confederate Air Force. The P-51D Mustang is a single-seat long-range fighter and fighter-bomber that was produced by North American Aviation. It is renowned for its distinctive sleek design and powerful engine, which enabled it to outperform German fighters during World War II. This particular Mustang, N5428V, was originally delivered to the US Army Air Forces in 1945 and later saw service with the French Air Force before being retired from military use. The Confederate Air Force, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic aircraft, acquired N5428V in 1976. The organization's collection includes over 160 historic aircraft, making it one of the largest and most diverse collections in the world. The Mustang's visit to Midland Airport in 1992 provided aviation enthusiasts with a rare opportunity to witness this iconic aircraft up close and personal. The image captures the Mustang in its element, with its engine roaring and exhaust trailing behind as it taxis on the tarmac. The vibrant colors of the Confederate Air Force's livery contrast beautifully with the gray skies, making for a captivating and nostalgic scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the North American P-51D Mustang and the passion of the aviation community for preserving history through the restoration and flight of vintage aircraft.
