Entitled the "J.26" , the Mustang as used by the Royal Upplands Wing, Uppsala Sweden.

Featuring "Little Friends I", and "Little Friends II" of Warbirdsim.
Thanks to Jan Kees Blom, for the fantastic repaints of 26108, and 26152, which can me found on "OZx".

The olive 26003 is available here at SOH.

Please don't make fun of my landings! You try landing a P-51D on a dinky little gravel runway, with a cross-wind! I'm a low-time pilot when it comes to the realism of Johns mustang.
And don't ask why I don't show the green J.26 any more after take-off! (I'm going to blame that one on Albert)

Watch THIS VIDEO which I took in 2009, if you don't think a mustang can ride on it's tailgear!

Watch full-screen, in 1020p HD!

Almost missed this! I loved watching the whole film, excellent job with it, Joseph (it's great seeing multiple Examples together)! It's also pretty cool seeing the bare metal Mustangs, with the OD Mustang, in the snow. It reminds me of the guy in Sweden that is currently restoring a former Swedish AF P-51D to static condition, in his backyard, that recently posted a video update on the project to YouTube. The photos show the bare metal Mustang out in the snow. I'll have to track it down and post a link to it.

It was interesting watching that video of Strega too! Something else that I can say has happened to me in the sim, that I hadn't really seen happen before in real life.
 
Here's the video I mentioned above: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OyKh4tL6dgo

If I recall correctly, the basis of this project were the remains of a former Swedish AF P-51D that was purposely destroyed for disposal (you can see some of what was to start with, at the start of the video). The state at which the project has reached, is simply remarkable.
 
Ahhh.... Love that project!

MORE INFO 44-72112, 26084 - being restored in the guys backyard. Gotta dig that!

Thanks for the compliments on the brief video, John. It was a pleasure.
