After a five year restoration at American Aero Services in New Smyrna Beach, FL under the care of Ashley Ezell, “The Stars Look Down” has emerged as a factory-fresh, dual-control TP-51C Mustang… an aircraft that is singularly unique amongst others. The newly restored TP-51C Mustang “The Stars Look Down” has a fully functional second cockpit behind the pilot with a full instrument panel and a canopy that can be opened by the second pilot from inside the aircraft. And unlike the original aircraft that Eisenhower flew in, this P-51C is in factory fresh condition, complete with period-correct instrumentation and controls. Firewall forward, you will find both a zero-time Packard Rolls Royce Merlin V-1650-7 (s/n V-335430) rebuilt by Roush Aviation including their exclusive Roush FAA/PMA new components for long-term reliability and performance. The Hamilton Standard propeller was overhauled to zero-time by Maxwell Propeller. All internal hydraulic and electrical systems as well as landing gear have been overhauled to factory fresh condition as well.
