The Mustang used to be owned by Frank Borman sold to Alan Alders, now I hear a gun importer bought it. F15 guy is screaming at the Mustang to pour it on, who refuses because he can't afford a new motor

Don’t you mean V
MC or maybe V
S1??
And ,yes. Mark is correct. The telephoto lens used in the shot makes them appear much closer to each other than they really are.
And Charles Hall (and his wife Evelyne) is the owner of Six-Shooter (N2580). Before that it belonged to Aero Classics in Daytona from 92 to 95. Prior to that it was Dick Korff‘s 82-92, and before that, Neil McClain’s in Alberta.
BTW - Frank Borman’s P-51 was Su Su II. Named after his wife Susan.
Now 50FS, is with Lewis Aeronautical in San Antonio. When it’s not with
David's Vintage Wings based at Lafayette, LA.
It’s a mad world of P-51s out there. Hard to keep up with who owns what and/or who flys who’s P-51 when.
Here’s a shot of Charles “Chuck” on the wing.
