P-51D Mustang
Ole' Yeller
This P-51D-30NA (S/N: 44-74739) is owned by John
Bagley of Rexburg, Idaho. Rockwell bought it for Bob Hoover in 1972
to replace one damaged by an oxygen tank explosion. Hoover flew
it from 1972 to 1997. It was damaged by wing fire in 1984, and John
Bagley purchased it in 1997.

The previous Ole' Yeller was damaged by an explosion when someone
put high-pressure oxygen in a low-pressure tank. Bob Hoover never
flew it again. |
