English: North American P-51D Mustang at the Brasschaat Flying Festival 2016.

44-72922 is one of those rare P-51 Mustangs who survived WWII and is now still flying in the same color scheme it had over 60 years ago. Although the airframe crashed several times and thus is not the exact same airframe it was when it was manufactured, it has been rebuilt each time around its original serial number.

This Mustang was built by North American Aviation in 1944 under construction number 122-39381 and was delivered to the USAAF that same year as 44-72922. There it served with the 434th Fighter Squadron, 479th Fighter Group as “Scat VII” L2- W , Major Robin Olds' personal aircraft.
