The Papa 51 Thunder Mustang was a high-performance experimental kit aircraft that represented the pinnacle of homebuilt aviation performance in the 1990s. First flown in the mid-1990s, it was a low-wing single-engine composite monoplane that seated two occupants and replicated the iconic P-51D Mustang at three-quarters scale. Powered by a 600-horsepower Falconer V-12 engine, the Thunder Mustang achieved speeds exceeding 400 mph, outperforming the original wartime fighter it emulated. The aircraft was manufactured by Papa 51 Ltd. Co. of Idaho from 1995 until the company's collapse in 1998-1999. AviatorDB tracks 2 Papa 51 LTD Co aircraft currently registered in the FAA database.
