    Interesting history to this aircraft as per Joe Baughers website. 44-63869 P-51D 355th FG, 358th FS, 8th AF; code YF-U. "Elionne / Passions Playground" (165th FS, Kentucky ANG) crashed near Franklin, KY Jan 7, 1948 during attempted intercept of UFO. Pilot Capt Thomas Mantell killed. This incident is legendary in the folklore of UFOs and flying saucers. The usual explanation was that Capt Mantell was trying to reach a Skyhook balloon (which was highly secret at the time) and lost consciousness due to a failure of his oxygen system and crashed.
