| P-51D Mustang "44-73420" N7722C |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the WWII Fighters P-51D. This aircraft, 44-73420, entered the USAAF in 1945 and served with the 190th FS, Boise, Idaho, and with several ANG units. In 1958 it was sold surplus and was registered N7722C. After passing through several owners the aircraft was painted as "Miss Torque" in 1984 and was eventually shipped to New Zealand in 1993 where it operated as ZK-PLI until 2005 when it was sold back to the US. The new owner, Jack Croul, had the aircraft fully restored and in the summer of 2006 it was flying again. The aircraft is now finished in a "polished with no paint" scheme, matching the way the aircraft looked when it originally rolled out of the factory. This repaint is full of details and includes nearly all factory stencils and the "filled, sanded, and painted wing."

| Boeing B-17G "Sentimental Journey" N9323Z |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of the CAF Arizona Wing's B-17G "Sentimental Journey," N9323Z. "Sentimental Journey" rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944, and was accepted by the Army Air Corp on March 13, 1945. Being delivered too late to serve in the European theater, the aircraft was assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war. The aircraft served in the USAF until 1959 when it was put into storage. Within a few months the aircraft was acquired by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico, California and flew thousands of sorties against forest fires as a converted tanker. In 1978 the aircraft was donated to the newly founded Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, and after a local contest the aircraft was named "Sentimental Journey." The decision was made to use the most famous pinup picture of WWII for the nose art, which of course was that of Betty Grable's most tantalizing. Over the years the aircraft has been brought back to its WWII configuration, complete with all turrets, crew positions, bombay, and markings of the 457th Bomb Group. The aircraft makes on average each year an amazing 60 airshow stops nation wide.

| Boeing B-17G "Sally B" G-BEDF |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the FSX Wings of Power II Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, in the markings of "Sally B", the UK's last remaining airworthy B-17. One of the last Flying Fortress built at the Lockheed-Vega plant in Burbank, California, this aircraft was delivered new to the USAAF on June 19, 1945. Later, it was operated as a mapping surveyor in France before being brought to England in March 1975. In 1982, Ted White, the man who was responsible for bringing the aircraft to England, was tragically killed when his Harvard crashed at an air rally in Malta. In memory of Ted White, the inner starboard cowling will always be painted in yellow and black checkers, the same way Ted White's Harvard cowling was painted. For the past 31 years, "Sally B" has continued to fly, under the leadership of Elly Sallingboe and with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers. In 1990, "Sally B" played lead role in the movie "Memphis Belle," and continues to wear the same scheme she did during filming, with the exception of the Sally B nose art and checkered cowling.

|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the WWII Fighters P-51D Mustang, in the markings of "Worry Bird," N951M, owned by Michael George. This aircraft's records show that it joined the 8th AF in April of 1945 and then returned back to New Jersey in July of 1945. Following WWII the aircraft served in a number of Air National Gaurd units before being purchased surplus by William Kelbaugh in 1958 - who literally saved the aircraft from the scrappers. The aircraft then passed through a few owners until it was purchased in 1978 by Jack Rose who restored the aircraft to WWII stock configuration and painted it as "Worry Bird." In 1990 Michael George purchased the aircraft and registered it N951M. Based in Springfield, IL, Michael George has been flying this absolutely beautiful aircraft to numerous air shows ever since.
