2006: Sep 12, sale, N151MW, Ken Wagner / Wagner P-51 Corp, Chino CA
Dr. Wagner is a new P-51 owner and pilot, trained at Stallion 51. Ken is a very nice guy to meet and talk to. He flies every weekend, and has a great attitude so he can become an old warbird pilot. Look for him at Oshkosh 07 and at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in late September 2007 at Columbus Ohio.
2007: September, The merlin decided to shed some metal and this P-51 will not be able to attend the GML. I know that Doc must be disappointed. He will be flying again soon.
2022: Oct 5, N151MW, active/flying
