Several Planes are on display at the ANG base in Fresno including this P51. According to the picture at Aviation Enthusiast Corner the plane was located elsewhere on stilts. Obviously restored to its current condition at the time the 144th Fighter Wing moved into its present HQ. Sadly all the planes are behind a fence with no access unless through an armed guard and there is no signage for the display or the planes.
