      By 1970 the black Mustang would have belonged to Jack Hovey, so I would suspect the aerobatics to be flown by Bob Love.

      However, in Aug. 1970 Hoovers first yellow Mustang had blown up at Oshkosh, so ....maybe Hoover.

        Wasn't the Black P51 "Habu" & more than once Hoover had to fly a different P51 because "Ole Yeller" had problems?

          That course is so different. When did they switch to “current” course?

          BTW, thanks for the vids. Always cool.

            1971 was when the triangle course replaced the oval course.

              The plane that raced as Ge Ge II/Habu was a different airframe.
