This appears to be the airplane in which Don Knapp lost his life some years back.
I believe it came from South America and was called "El Gato Rapido" at one time.
William D. Yoak:
This Looks like the aircraft that was owned by the late Don Knapp. He was
killed in his Mustang at Abilene Texas at an airshow in Late '89 or early '90
after stalling close to the ground.
Lynn A. Allen II:
This is the late Don Knapp's P-51 @ the used to be Best Airshow,
Breckenridge, Texas. I think Dick probably took this one at the last
Breckenridge show he attended. He was flying his Birdcaged Corsair then
and I don't remember who flew the P-51 to the show. He was later
unfortunately killed in it at a show in Abilene, Texas. Wish we still
have them both around.
Tim Savage:
This looks like the one that crashed back '90 in Abilene at the hands of Don Knapp...
Mike Vadeboncoeur:
Don Knapps old 51? Also destroyed in stall spin accident..
Brad Pilgrim:
This is P-51D, 44-72446, N12700 owned, flown and crashed by Don Knapp. He stalled
and crashed after a low pass at Dyess AFB airshow in Abilene, Texas on 23JUN90.
He was killed. I am not sure what happened to the wreckage. This picture had to have
been taken at Breckenridge, Texas. It was the memorial day airshow in 1990, one
month before the crash. I have nearly the exact same picture.
Nice work!
