Wing looks similar to a North American P51, but it's probably more related to an ME109 or a Pilatus.

It’s a turbo prop In the 70s the Swiss removed the Hispano V-12s and rebuilt the airframes, added the 3 vertical, as well as the new nose and turbo prop. Back in the 80s the shop I worked at bolted together 2 that were imported to the states. Really clean airframes back them. High utility. Easy to fly.

I think we may have had one of those you put together based at TYS. A local guy had one to prepare him to fly P47 he was locally restoring. He forgot to put the gear down while doing T&Gs and bellied it in. It caught fire on the runway. He got out along with the instructor and the airport fire trucks put out the fire before much damage was done. I remember the water cannons did more damage than the fire. Anyway, he never finished the 47 and it was purchase and shipped to, I think, Planes of Fame for restoration and now it is based at Gatlinburg airport’s warbird museum.
Don’t know if the Pilatus was ever returned to flying condition.

IIRC Corky Fornoff came and got one that flew off, maybe to the SE US.
Other one went to Bob Pond. Was given back to POF. We had painted it in a quasi German WWII paint scheme. Unsure how much they flew it. Engine ended up going on the POF Mohawk, it's a Mohawk QEC used on the 3606.

If my memory is correct Doc W C-3605 was painted green and silver. It was purchased after BB crashed Doc W T28 sometime in the late 80s or maybe early 90s. The instructor during the crash was our friend BB. Here is Doc's P47: https://www.tnairmuseum.com/museum-aircraft/

I did the pre buy on Ain’t Misbehaving when it left Nantucket for down south. Glen Wegman flew it down.
