Restored P-51D Mustang in 357th Fighter Group Markings Taxiing at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation Air Show, 7 June 2014

A restored North American P-51D Mustang taxis in at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation air show of 7 June 2014, canopy open and Merlin idling. Its polished natural-metal finish, red-and-yellow checkerboard cowl and 'G4' fuselage code represent the 362nd Fighter Squadron of the Eighth Air Force's 357th Fighter Group, while the black-and-white invasion stripes date the scheme to the Normandy campaign of June 1944. A P-51D in these markings, carrying the pilot name Capt. Jesse Frey, appears repeatedly in the Donald L. Engebretsen collection's air show photography. Behind the aircraft rise the Great Smoky Mountains. Project: 219310
