One of several P-51’s on hand at the 2022 Truckee Tahoe AirShow & Family Festival was this beautiful Mustang known as “StrawBoss 2/Little Sandra”.  This Mustang is known as “StrawBoss 2”, but the starboard crew chief side carries the name “Little Sandra”.  The original StrawBoss had had 2 air victories and 4 ground kills during the war.  More than 8100 of the D-model were produced, contributing to the total of 15,000 Mustangs built for the war.  After World War II, the P-51 Mustang served in the air forces of over 55 countries.
