William Yoak:This is S/N:44-73029-A which was owned for several years by Tom Summers of Friendswood ,Texas. Summers entered it on a couple of occasions at the Reno Air Races as #15 in the late 1960's and then as #7 in 1977 or '78.He called it Jaybee ,probably due to its registration of N51JB. Summers was more known in the air racing community as a Formula One contender more than an unlimlited copetitor as the majority of his racing was in the Formula One Class. He owned and raced #15 "Sump'n Else" in the Formula One Class for several years.This is not to be confused with #6 Somthin' Else flown by the late John Crocker in the Unlimited Class although both aircraft raced at the same time period with almost identical names.The Mustang that Summers owned(Case#61) has been owned since 1980 by Jim Beasley, a lawyer from Philadelphia, PA . It is painted in WWII markings and is called The Bald Eagle.The aircraft underwent an extensive restoration immediatley after Beasley acquired it in 1980 by what was then Unlimited Aircraft Ltd. in Chino, CA. It was completed in September of 1981.
