Jeepnik said:Don't think they made all that many A-36's. Turned out a standard P-51 could do a credible job or close air support and ground attack. If I recall they had one on display at Lackland when I was there. Thought it was a P-51 till I read the name plate in front of it.
Yep, learn something every day. I was learning a bunch of stuff daily back then. Some of which I still remember.
About when was this? Must have been before 1972 when I was there. They did have a VERY rare P-51H on display, though (and AFAIK, still do).Jeepnik said:If I recall they had one on display at Lackland when I was there. Thought it was a P-51 till I read the name plate in front of it.

I've never heard of an A-36 or P-51A at Lackland. I just did a search at WarbirdRegistry and they didn't have any of the six or seven such survivors listed as ever having been on display at Lackland.
An airplane mystery! :shock:
Please do! I'd love to see them!Jeepnik said:Snake45 said:About when was this? Must have been before 1972 when I was there.

1971. I have some old photos taken when I was there. I'll try to dig them out and scan them. I should do it anyway.
