  • Risky Business Question

    While looking through the Pima Air Museum site I noticed a couple of pictures in their P-51 restoration section that showed a lower cowl section with "Risky Business" painted on it. They refer to it as parts salvaged from other aircraft.
    Just for curiousities sake, anyone know who, what, when, why?

          Just found it interesting that particular panel would find it's way there.

            Was "Risky Business" painted on the lower cowl? I thought it was painted above the stacks, but I could be thinking of Cloud Dancer.

                Those panels in the Pima site certainly do appear to be from the Racer. All the cowling pieces take a huge beating in daily use, and considering how many Merlins Risky ate over the years these things were off and on an awful lot! I suspect that Rhino replaced them with new pieces as part of the restoration process, and that the old panels ended up in Tucson...
