The P-51A I think was the apache I do believe. radical_D _________________ Radical_D "I write code so you don't have to."

I think it had a different engine too. _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard "Oh the horror of the seven engine approach" Half man, half machine, half timebomb.....

The mustang is the name but that's kinda DA!!! The P-47 is the Jug or isn't it the Thunderbolt(which makes no sense) I think invader was given to a difernt Pursuit fighter. and the apache is used on a couple other aircraft. but i wwent with mustang. and as for lightning that is given to the P-38.but i think its nickname is Storm related. (thunder, lightning, hurricane, tit twister ) _________________ If you can read this.... than your eyesight is fine and you can stay on the computer. If you can't read it....

This time I reversed things and decided to not be tricky at all, though the majority of you did not seem to catch on to this... The 'unofficial' name for the P-51 was and is the Mustang! The 'Official" name was adopted for this aircraft from the British name... Now the A-36 was named 'unofficially' named the 'Invader', but called the Apache by the British... However the A-36 was never redesignated as the P-51... It was not a Pursuit Fighter and thus never received the P code... It was a dive bomber and received the Attack A code instead... Therefore any name at any time applied to the A-36 is irrelevant... So only myself, falcon500, and another mystery voter got this one right! See I am so tricky, you never know if I will be even more sly by not being sly or tricky at all!
