Peter Teichman and the team with Tall In The Saddle

Today saw the unveiling of Hangar 11's 1945 P51D mustang in her original livery.

Peter Teichmann and the team stand proudly in front of this beautiful historic aircraft.

The Tuskegee experiment in world war II was to see the creation of the 332nd FG better known as the Red Tails and was America's first all African American Squadron. It was also one of its most decorated.

This plane was assigned to Lt. George Hardy in 1945 who was assigned to bomber escort and strafing patrols. Lt. Col Hardy retired from the Air Force in November 1971. His career decorations include the DFC with Valor, and the Air Medal with 11 OLC.
