Skillfully carved from the finest grade of wood, the P-51 Mustang desktop model airplane is worked to a perfect scale copy of the original fighter plane. The design of the wing, the tail and the body of this art piece are carefully carved, mirrored from the actual P-51 Mustang.
Eight people died together with Jimmy Leeward, 74, pilot of the vintage P-51 Mustang warplane during the horrible crash at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada air show last September 2011. A total of 54 people were reported injured says Reno Air Races President and CEO, Mike Houghton.
