N167F North American P-51 History
The Scandinavian Historic Flight P-51D, N-167F, is painted as "Old Crow", the aircraft of one of the 8th AF aces, Col. Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson of the 357Th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron, who recorded 16% kills in the aircraft. The aircraft was built in 1944, but never saw action in WWII. It was flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force before going through several civilian owners. It was acquired by SHF in 1980 and restored by Vintage Aircraft Ltd., Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1986 it was flown by Anders Saether across the Atlantic to Norway. Since then, it has been a steady performer on the European airshow circuit. It took part in the 1989 movie production "Memphis Belle". The main base is Oslo, but the aircraft is often deployed around Europe for airshow work.
