Air museum worth visit
RANTOUL (AP) — It's almost back to its glory, the yellow-painted classic fighter modeled on ones a World War II ace used to fly.
The P-51H Mustang, restored in honor of Louisiana's Lt. Col. Claude Crenshaw, is "the belle of the ball" at the newly revived Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, said curator Mark Hanson.
The elegant and deadly 1945 model's restoration will be finished soon after years of work. Some minor paint work will have to wait for spring.
