Martin Kyburz:
Case #95 was easy - one of the few Mustangs to retain the same civil registration since
surplused form military service. This ship is 44-74865 which served with the RCAF,
serialled 9258, at times serving with No. 402 Sqdn, coded AC-258. In 1959 this a/c
was s.o.c. by the RCAF and sold to the U.S. (Aero Enterprises , James Defuria),
becoming N8677E. Ownership changed 1961 to Walter Erickson, 1965 to Don Novas and
sometime 1998 to Gene Mallette. Today, the a/c is flying as 'Mormon Mustang' in
the colours of the 357th FG 364th FS.
Case Closed!
