Default P-51 Mustang wrapped Challenger Hellcat!!Totally Unique!

I LOVE it, but everyone will have an opinion....







From the Hellcat website....

.As many of you may know i'm a flyer on the MC-130H Combat Talon 2. It's my tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen who flew these P51 Mustang Red Tails. This particular plane was named "Kitten" after his wife, and this same plane was shot to hell over Germany on a bomber escort mission and crashed in Poland. The pilot survived and was taken as a POW. Lt Leon Spears made it back home and passed in 2008 in California. Just my tribute, many may not like it, but wanted to let you know why i did it.

I like it!!

It's an awesome tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen who flew the P51 Mustang Red Tails.

At first I was gonna ask why you didn't use a F6F Hellcat paint scheme but them I read the tribute comments under pic. Awesome look!!

Love it! Never saw P51 nose art with the lines like that. I'll have to look up more Tuskegee planes.
