This is a photoreal repaint for Warwick Carter's P-51D Mustang Ver. 2. "Merlin's Magic" began restoration at Chino in 1982, first flying with the new markings in 1994, registered as N151SE. In 2000 she began racing at Reno, reaching 430+ mph her first race. Since then she has gone to the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Reno Air Races, placing 5th in Gold, and 5th in Silver. Unfortunately in 2006, while participating at Reno, the aircraft was highly damaged when high pressure O2 was put in a low pressure bottle in the rear fuselage and it exploded. The aircraft is now back in rebuild, and hopefully it will be seen in the skies again soon.
