Wee Willy II

On Saturday I had some time to kill with nothing to do, so I took a trip to Chino Airport, home of one of the Planes of Fame Air Museum's. As museums go this one is a little different in that most of the exhibits are actually regularly flown aircraft. Also you get to literally walk up to the aircraft, see it close up and touch it. In fact you actually have to mind your head while walking around them as there are lots of pointy hard objects hanging from a plane.

This plane is a North American P51 Mustang called Wee Willy II. It looks like this aircraft had a fun life after it's military service as an air racer until it crashed during a race at Reno in 1980. In 1985 it was rebuilt with parts from another Mustang and now flies out of Chino airport.
