Warplanes preserved in the USA: Wisconsin: Oshkosh, EAA AirVenture Museum

Oshkosh, EAA AirVenture Museum, Wittman Airfield, 3000 Poberezny Road, 54903-3086.

The EAA Aviation Museum, formerly the EAA AirVenture Museum (or Air Adventure Museum), is a museum dedicated to the preservation and display of historic and experimental aircraft as well as antiques, classics, and warbirds. The museum is located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States, adjacent to Wittman Regional Airport, home of the museum’s sponsoring organization, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), and the organization’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event (the world’s biggest fly-in and airshow) that takes place in late July/early August.

With over 200 aircraft, indoors and outdoors, and other exhibits and activities (including occasional aircraft rides nearby), the AirVenture Museum is a key tourist attraction in Oshkosh and is a center of activity throughout the AirVenture fly-in and airshow each summer. The museum is open year-round with the exception of a few holidays. (Wikipedia)

North American F-51D-30NA Mustang (Serial No. 44-75007N), Cavalier conversion, PP-H, “Paul I”, Reg. No. N3451D.

In 1948, shortly after the creation of the U.S. Air Force as a separate service, they introduced a new system of designation, moving from P for Pursuit to F for Fighter. This means that the Mustang in the EAA collection was a P-51 when it was manufactured in 1944, but when it left military service it had been re-designated as an F-51. In the mid-’60s, it was converted to a Cavalier Mustang by Trans-Florida Aviation, the most visually distinctive modification being the taller tail.

Its serial number is 44-75007N, its civilian registration is N3451D, but this airplane is best known by the name on the nose, Paul I. For more than 25 years, beginning with the airplane’s donation to EAA in 1977 by Robert Love of the Pacific Military Air Museum, EAA Founder Paul Poberezny flew the Mustang regularly at air shows and fly-ins, not to mention the annual EAA convention in Oshkosh. Paul even flew the Mustang in air races in Reno, Nevada, and Homestead, Florida, before retiring it to the museum’s Eagle Hangar in 2003. (EAA AM)
