  4. Revisiting an old scan of a slide... This was taken at the now long gone Frederick Airshow. I am guessing it would be in the late 90s. The in the background was the aircraft flown by Joe Tobul which he crashed and died in November 2002. His son Jim Tobul later rebuilt the aircraft and currently flies it at airshows. The Mustang was donated to the Museum in 2003 where it is currently on display.
