P-51 GUNFIGHTER

Gunfighter was built in Inglewood, California, at the North American plant and was accepted into the USAAF in March 1945. That month, it was shipped to England, where it was assigned to the famous “Mighty Eighth” Air Force. In July of 1945, after the War ended in Europe, it was returned to the U.S. and assigned to Olmstead Field in Pennsylvania. In 1947, it was transferred to the Air National Guard, and it thereafter served with units in Wyoming, New Mexico, Illinois, and Kentucky. In 1956, it was declared surplus and sold on the civilian market.

Today, Gunfighter offers ride flights and performs at airshows across the nation. Its mission is to honor the sacrifices of those who have served and inspire the next generation of aviators. Click here to learn more.
