Martin Kyburz: N451D is 44-73260 which served with 165th FS KY ANG before sold and adopting civil reg. N5075K. Sold to Cavalier and rebuilt, it became N451D and was used as domonstrator before being sold to TNI-AU (Indonesian AF) as F-360. Crashed on Java 1975; remains being sold to the USA as spares-source to various rebuild-projects.


Jim Church: N451D was a Cavalier conversion of P-51D s/n 44-73260, including 'tuna' tanks, custom interior and paint job, but not the taller tail which most of the modified aircraft had. Before conversion it had been registered N5075K for a time, and after conversion it wound up with the Indonesian Air Force as F-360, but was crashed on Java. Remains of this aircraft were reportedly recovered by the late Stephen Johnson, along with most of the remnants of the Indonesian's Mustang force in the late '70s.


T.J. Johansen: N451D This was, I believe a demonstrator for Cavalier until it was sold to the Indonesian Air Force where it appearently crashed in the mid-70´s.
