Hello Warbird lovers! I’m Carolyn S. Schulke, Dr. Steve Schulke’s daughter. Dr. Schulke and Johnny Bolton owned N2251D in Orlando, Florida in the early ‘70s. My Daddy flew her in many air shows, and she truly was his Doll!! The last I was able to find out, “Doc’s Doll” was Nooky Booky. In 1975, I was 11 years old when my Daddy died; gone too soon! It’s so nice to read about her again :) If her current owner happens to read this, I’d be honored to hear from you! Gohorselover77@gmail.com
Just enjoyed Sun n Fun and going to the Sanford air show this weekend!! KEEP ‘EM FLYING!!!

Late 1960s I rode in N2116 as a teenager and the aircraft was owned by Tony Mulherin of Augusta Georgia and owner of Hallmark Homes. I rode in the aircraft 3 times and have pictures of it taken at Bush Field in Augusta GA in its Hallmark Homes livery. I will remember Tony and this aircraft to my dying day as those rides were what inspired me to my profession and career ( now retired ) of flying corporate jets. Wish I was able to post pics but do not see that being capable on this site.

I grew up flying in and out of Sanford airport with my dad in the early 80's , we spent a lot of time with a guy named Robbie Roberts, he had a small fbo on the northwest side of the field.

If I remember the story correct, Robbie was flying one of the other P51's that day in Texas. Robbie was a character for sure! always had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, always cussing, was one hell of a pilot! as I got older and started flight training I went by to visit and was sad to find out he had passed away, his neat little fbo was gone, including all the aircraft memorabilia he had inside.

My dad was a big golfer back in the day, always told stories of Johnny Bolton, I think they played golf together quite a bit.

My dads name was Gary Holmes

I grew up in the 70’s in Middlebury CT, not far from Waterbury-Oxford Airport (OXC) . I remember hearing that AWSOME sounding P-51 “Passion Wagon” fly by and it forever pulled me into aviation. Years later, after the accident, I became the Airport Manager of OXC. Even though I’m in DC now working for the FAA, I will never forget my roots… and that amazing sound of the Passion Wagon that stirred my soul into a life-long career in aviation!

Sad news:

He had been in the hospital for about 30 days before that.

Sharoll was one of the good guys and will be sorely missed.

RIP, old friend.

This is Doug Arnold (Warbirds of Great Britain)'s 44-63788 N166G in the colors used for the movie "Eye of The Needle" starring Donald Sutherland. Later sold to Stephen Grey, then Jean Salis, it went to Yves Duval before being destroyed in a 1998 crash at La Roche-sur-Yon in France.

Later a new build airframe using 44-63788's id has been under restoration in France for a long time although it is currently for sale by a party in Virginia.

Charles,

I grew up in Fallon. NV and watched Roger Wolfe on more than one occasion dusting crops in that farm community. He even sprayed our alfalfa once or twice. After graduating high school, a good friend of mine ( also a wingnut) worked for Roger as a flagger and loader in his agricultural spraying business. My buddy decided after working for others long enough that it was time to work for himself and he, too, became a crop duster. He eventually settled in Burley, Idaho where he owned and flew two Ag Cats. He worked hard to build a viable business, started a family but was tragically lost when his plane collided with another crop duster whose windshield was obscured with spray and oil.

As kids Roger Wolfe was known to me and my buddy. We were huge fans of his exploits. My buddy's parents were also plane owners and fliers so they also came know Roger. When Roger bought the Mustang in the early seventies I'd sometimes see him buzzing the terrain around our ranch. It was a hell of a thing to watch. Turns out he wasn't just tearing up the sky for fun but also working. It seems he was spraying the local ponds for mosquitos. If you look closely at the picture you can see the wingtip pipe. May be the only time a Mosquito and a Mustang ever tangled.

I really enjoyed your story of meeting Roger and I would like to contact him to ask a few questions about his planes and my friend.


Happy Landings
