Fred Fehsenfeld P-51 - 09/19/2007 08:01:12 AM
Hello,   I am hoping someone can help me with information about Fred Fehsenfeld's P-51.  Markings,  Call sign and tail number.  Any photos would also be appreciated. 

Thanks

Dave

Dave,
Unless I missed something in another post with regards to this pilot, I think you will have better luck by giving the FS/FG numbers. As it stands there is not much to go on.

Paul,
How is my Dutch friend from south Holland?. Wow!!, I am never ceased to be amazed on this forum how little is offered in a request and someone can come up with some input, especially from the otherside of the big pond. Good job on your input. At least I/we know the pilot of the P-51.

Hi yunch,
 
Glad to be of some help ! Doing fine here, not the south part but northwest of Amsterdam at the coast...
 
Take care,

Paul,
Thanks again for more photos. Sorry about the location screwup. I guess I need a double Junge Genever (did I spell it right) to re-focus. I'ts been a long time, 27 years since I lived in Aalsmeer. Again thanks to you fine people in Awon for remembering our boys.

Paul, My memory needs a little jogging. My wife and I use to go to a beach on the North Sea after work. Zandvoort sticks in my gray matter, would this be correct ?, also I am treading on thin ice here, you are a policeman in your town ?.

That would be Zandvoort aan Zee indeed ! I'm more up north.
And bingo on the last part...
