TP-51C Betty Jane
« on: August 07, 2010, 02:02:18 PM »

This skin was done as a request from VPJT~Blaze

North American TP-51C-10 Mustang NL251MX Betty Jane has been restored as a dual-control TP-51C trainer. There were at least 5 TP-51Cs that were built during WWII for training purposes, and VIP transport. These former fighter aircraft were used as a high speed transport and gave the Mustang pilot the ability to share the joy of flying the world’s greatest fighter with their trusted ground crews. This Mustang carries construction number 103-22730, while the original 103-22730 flew for the Army Air Corps as 42-103293 and was condemned as salvage due to battle damage on May 3, 1944. John Muszala collected P-51B and P-51C parts, and he and Max Chapman agreed to assemble a flying example of a dual-control TP-51C. Chapman reserved the registration N24177 for it in June 2003 and it first flew after restoration on May 5, 2004. The registration NL151MX was reserved for the airplane on June 25, 2004 and taken up on August 28, 2004. It won Best P-51 at Oshkosh that summer. In 2006 it was painted as P-51B 43-106511 Betty Jane of the Fifteenth Air Force. It was registered to the Collings Foundation on April 30, 2008.

Hi, SAS~Rock!

I saw this plane yesterday at an air show close to where I live. I would love to have this skin but I am getting the following message when I click on your link.

General Error

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 110 [2013]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Please advise what to do as I very much, look forward to getting this one in my hanger.

Thank you for making it!

Hi, Again, SAS~Rock!

I got it! Turns out that I had to turn my firewall off to get it. This one has got a really neat history to it. The pilot that flew it was from about 30 minutes of where I live and he died last year not having known that it was restored and that his paint job was borrowed to make it. He was a genuine Ace having shot down 5 German planes in a Spitfire and the rest of his kills in his P-51 Betty Jane. 

Thanks again!
