The North America P-51 Mustang is widely considered to be one the greatest fighter aircraft ever produced, it certainly is one of the most recognizable and legendary of the Second World War.
In all 16,766 Mustangs were built — making it most widely produced American fighter aircraft in history, of those only a handful of the early P-51B or P-51C Mustangs are still flying… They’re easily recognizable thanks to their “razorback” configuration as opposed to the more numerously produced P-51D with its “bubble canopy”.
The Collings Foundation’s TP-51C Mustang “Betty Jane” serial number 42-103293 was built by North American at its Dallas facility in 1943 and rebuilt in 2002-2003 as a 2 seat version of the P-51C — to the best of my knowledge the “Betty Jane” is the only fully dual-controlled TP-51C Mustang flying today.
