I somehow missed that but then again, I haven't been keeping up with that project in the last months. This is a true and extremely rare piece of aviation history, especially considering so many of us now were too young or not born yet when the Twin Mustangs were in service or regularly flown. It's a great gift to aviation history and enthusiasts alike!
