Ford Unveils Shelby GT350 “Ole Yeller”

For the past 9 years, Ford has donated a special edition Mustang to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program that is dedicated to empowering the next generation of young aviators. This year Ford has chosen to pay homage to one of the most popular fighter planes of World War II that has become a mainstay at air shows all around the country. The yellow P51D known to the public as “Ole Yeller” resides at the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg, ID, and is also a regular unlimited racer at the Reno National Championship Air Races. “Ole Yeller” has made over 1,000 air show performances in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
