Not as simple as it may seem...

Edit: Dukie wins, it's an A-36 Apache, attack variant of the Mustang. This was at EAA AirVenture 2012. One of only 2 airworthy examples in the world.

And I suppose you're going to tell me that a GMC Sierra is not a Chevy Silvarado

A-36. Dive-bombing variant of a P-51.

I gotta admit I knew something was off when I saw those flaps. Also all the bombing runs on the nose. Pretty cool stuff! Didn't know about this one before.

Yes, A-36, dive brakes gave it away..... Fuselage alone P-51A Models which were often given to the Tuskegee Airmen........
