Betty Jane taxis in as part of the Wings of Freedom Tour. This is the first time the Collings Foundation has visited Yakima in several years, and it is a great opportunity to see these warbirds here again.

For only a short time Lt William T. Whisner’s first P-51B (serial 42-106449) had the name ‘Princess Elisabeth’ on the port side of the nose, before reverting to ‘Moonbeam McSwine’. Of note are his first two aerial and two ground victory markings.
