Yip we have all been watching this one ... this is just a teaser pre Accusim , least its a variant that is a cheaper option .. Better known as a F-51 in Korea .. but it was so hard to loose its 'P' designation .

Ian Ian...you have your facts wrong (for once 
)...the H model didn't serve in Korea - the "H" was a light weight interceptor/escort version of the P-51D and was too late for WW2. It was the P-51D (F-51D by then) that served in Korea as those had underwing hard points and could be used for ground atack (ie dropping bombs and firing rockets) - which the P-51H couldn't do.

Close .. July 1947 changed and in 1948 the US Army Air Corps to USAF this changed all designations from the 'P' for don't pisss me off to 'F' you really ' f'n ' me off , some lessors stayed with the Pursuit legend due to training and operational status , postwar 'H' were based on a XP-51F .. and never a front line fighter .. only 555 built most going to a training role .
