North American P-51 Mustang (N5528N)

Wonder why it's called Thunderbird? It has the colors of the Blue Angels.

This P-51 C was restored to honor the P-51 Air Racer from 1949 that was Cobalt Blue & sponsored by Mobil Oil Co. with their Pegasus Horse Logo. Plane was named Thunderbird.
Interesting history how the original was owned at one time by Brig General Jimmy Stewart - WW2 B-24 pilot & superb actor.

But you are right Vaughn, the colors are todays Blue Angels.

Kind of ironic it's a Mustang but they called it "Thunderbird". James would be proud of this magnificent restoration. As for the blue color, It looks more metallic and darker than the Navy's Blue Angels color. Maybe it's the Air Force's Thunderbird blue? Hard to say since I can't find any good pictures with good lighting.

can I give you 7 stars*******

That airplane should be chained to the ground instead of chocked. It looks like it could fly by itself....

Thank you Garritt & Tom.
I am laughing at your chained to ground comment Tom.
