Restored.
Markings Applied: Stump Jumper, B6 C, 463810
Col Collord found the nose art Stump Jumper etched in the cowling. By chance, Collord met an ex-USAF pilot at an airshow who flew 810 post WWII. He had an engine failure over Tennessee and had to belly land in a field. After committing to the only clearing in the area he noticed many pine tree stumps about 2 feet high throughout the field. He landed and did not hit any of them, hence the name Stump Jumper. The P-51 was dismantled and trucked out for repairs. The restoration adopted the ID of USAAF s/n 45-11367.
