P-51 Mustang and Folded-Wing Warbird at Museum of Aviation Air Show, June 2014

Vintage military aircraft draw crowds at air shows and museum events, keeping the history of American military aviation alive for new generations. Pictured here at a Museum of Aviation event are a polished P-51D Mustang, the iconic World War II long-range escort fighter, and a folded-wing radial-engine warbird prepared for taxi. Preservation groups and museums like this one maintain flying examples of these historic aircraft so the public can see and hear them in action. Project: 219310
