The North American XP-82 restored by Tom Reilly at his team’s facility in Douglas, GA. This is the second of 2 prototype aircraft built for the P-82
program. Although SN 483887 was the second airframe completed it was the first to fly.
What looks like 2 mustangs joined at the hip is in fact far more complex. Only 2 part numbers are common between the -51 Mustang and the -82
Twin Mustang: rudder & elevator hinge pins and trim wheel knobs. The XP-82 pilot was Ray Fowler. The tour and photo shoot was coordinated by
Scott Slocum.
