| N51VC / 6 (cn 44-74502) Racer John Crocker and his crew chief Bill Kerchenfaut chat in front of P-51 "Somethin' Else" at what I believe to be the 1985 air races. John Crocker would perish in the early nineties while ferrying a Convair 340, but the plane, which was converted back to a stock Mustang still lives on as N351DT, "Crazy Horse".
