William Yoak:
This Maroon and gold mustang was owned and operated by Dave Norland--a pilot
for Continental Airlines--from Denver CO. Norland was a frequent participant
at the Reno Air Races from around 1973 until about 1979. Unfortunately, the
aircraft seemed to encounter some different mechanical problems during it's
racing days, but 1979 seemed to be one the better times for Norland when he
took 4th place in the Bronze race.I vaguely remember reading of some mention
of the aircraft still being operated by a different owner in recent years
(either on the Mustang Survivor List or in a warbird magazine) but do not
recall the exact details. As always, I hope this "info" is helpful to fellow
Mustang enthusiasts.
David Daly:
