The last time I saw the P-51 that was on the pole I dropped it off in Memphis TN. It was told to me later that it was moved where I don't know. My old boss traded the goverment 3 fiberglass replicas for 1 real plane. The man that got the real plane restores old aircraft to fly around to airshows. One plane that he flew before he died was the "Memphis Belle". I put a P-38 up at Lackland Air Force Base.

I have a photo taken back in 1971 of the p-51 at McEntire air park museum. It looks like it was in the original condition in the photo. If anyone is interested in this picture for a website, e-mail me or call 803-822-8332

Very nice site! It is indeed ashame that the P-51 was sold for $250,000 and a fibreglass replacment model of said airplane. I was also told that the P-51 was one of the last to show up there and had a very low time engine in it. Someone got a great deal! Wish they ad also kept the C-131 there also. Loved hanging out there and watching those old radial's fire up with smoke and flames coming out. Those were the days...

McEntire had a P51 Mustang at one time, my father helped take it from a museum up north and put it back together at McEntire. He worked at McEntire from time it opened until the mid 70s. The original plane was swapped for a fibreglass model. I think there was some funny stuff going on, but dont know the details. It is a shame, the plane is now gone. I lived at McEntire when I was about 7 and would go down to flightline and sat in cockpit of a active duty P-51 in early 50s. Great memories.
