That is a great article! I had been planning on doing the repaint since this past fall, and when I read the recent issue of Aeroplane, it got me energized to finally get it made.

Back in the early 2000s, the History Channel had a brilliant series called "Battle Stations", which I recorded the episode on the P-51 and would replay it often (to get my Mustang fix, back before sites like Youtube sprang up). In that episode, there are great segments of interviews with original WWII Mustang pilots, one of them being Don Blakeslee. You can get sort of a sense of the character he had by his great responses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVCe2dZMc0w

I've finally got this one finished and uploaded today - it ended up being way more work than I thought it was going to be when I started.

Flameout, that actually happens to be a very stylish Beech Baron, which is the stock MSFS model that has been overhauled by Black Square, available here: https://www.justflight.com/product/steam-gauge-overhaul-analog-baron

Seeing the gorgeous repaints by Tim and Ryan, I know I'm going to eventually have to purchase both it and the remade Bonanza as well. (Thank you Tim, for the compliment on the P-51 repaint!)

Hey Dave - I've never talked to Bud Anderson, though I've read his book (which is excellent) and I got to see him fly Jim Hagedorn's P-51D "Old Crow" back in the early 2000s (then still owned by Jack Roush). I have been fortunate that, through my work for Warbirdsim over a decade ago, I had the honor of being contacted by a few WWII Mustang vets as well as some family members of others that flew Mustangs during the war.
 
ah.. well very coolon all the contact. as i had said bud is pretty shy to start, but he stopped by the house one day,he was walking alot then,and my dad commented on working for his inlaws when he was a young man. it suddenly hit him, he had known my grandfather.he became very animated,and his voice raised (he speaks very softly)and he got to telling some funny stories from back home.it was a lot of fun.lol
