P-51's The Best Plane Ever Built (msg id: 2049)
At least that's what I grew up hearing. My name is Janet Rice Peterson, my dad flew P-51's in the Pacific during WWII. His name was Floyd "Bud" Rice and his plane was named the Betty Jeanne. Dad is no longer living, and unfortunately although I grew up hearing the stories, none of them have been written down. I would love to know if anyone out there knew dad, his grandkids would love to hear the history first hand. Even though the times were hard, those were definitely his glory days.

Congratulations (msg id: 2046)
Dears sirs, I am a retired fighter pilot from Brazilian Air Force but I didn't fly propellers as fighters, but only Mirage III. I admire you and other pilots who fought in Europe, Asia and North Africa and I love reading about your fights. I would love to fly a P-51 that is my favorite fighter but I was born many years after that.
Congratulations because of your courage and heroism during the war and also because of this site that allows us to admire all of those adventures. Best regards

daughter of P51 Mustang Pilot of WWII (msg id: 2036)
My father, Julian Burton "Burt" McGee (now 88 yrs) flew a P51 Mustang named the Fiddle-de-dee. He says that everyone else was naming their planes after women. I told him that I remember that his Mom, my grandmother, had a saying she used quite often and it was 'well, fiddle-de-dee". He now has a golf cart given to him by my sister and brother-in-law and it bears the name "Fiddle-de-dee". My nephew has a tattoo of some artwork Dad had on the side of his plane.
Dad wrote a bit of what he remembered of his 90+ issions and our local newspaper ran an article on him on Memorial Day about 3 years ago. I have several photos of him with his plane and my nephew (who was in Desert Storm) located a photo of Dad's plane in the air.
He would like to know if any of his buddies are still alive, especially one he calls "Maggert".

Looking for MIA info on Casper Haboian, 363 Tact Recon (msg id: 2030)
I am the nephew of Casper Haboian, an uncle I never knew, who was a P51 pilot that was MIA on Mar 18, 1945. I am looking for any info on his last mission, plane, possible crash location, or pictures of him from war. Please help if you can - reply to mhaboian@frontiernet.net.
Data from US Govt report, MACR # 1351:
Casper was part of 363d Tactical Reconnaissance Group, 160th squadron. His aircraft:
Aircraft Type: F6B
Serial Number: 42-106728
Nickname of Aircraft: Cotton Tail, with a picture of a duck.
Engines: type-model-series V-1650-3
Engine Number: 49-49489
MACR 1351
Reported MIA on 18 March, 1945 by 1st Lt. Laurence H. Martin, who flew with Casper in a separate plane on this mission 18 March, 1945. They never re-connected over Cologne after heavy flak. Casper was lost between Cologne and Siegen, Germany, on the extreme east end of their assigned area (F-8567).
There is a crash site near this area, at 51^0242N, and 08^1314E, where parts of a plane were found, but not sure if this was Caspers plane. His mission may have been to either Gummersbach or Kreuztal.
Thank you for any help you might provide.
