In 1953 six P-51 Mustangs were subjected to atomic tests in Australia. In 1967 a man went out to the desert and repaired one and flew it home. The other five were shipped to the US. The guy tried to register he one he kept but the government jerked him around for three years so he sold it to an American. Four days after he sold it the government gave him the registration.
The plane was damaged in shipment and sat for ten years in the US. Finally a plane restorer was hired by an Alabama business man to get it in the air.
