From the moment Jane VI arrived in our shop, our restoration team understood the responsibility carried by her serial number—P-51D Mustang 44-72253. She is more than aluminum and horsepower; she embodies history, sacrifice, and the men and women who gave everything in defense of freedom. And now Jane VI flies again. Every time Sebastien starts her engine, she tells the story of the Greatest Generation and carries a message of freedom, selflessness, and courage.

Throughout the restoration, our team remained committed to returning Jane VI to fully airworthy condition, guided precisely by her owner’s vision. Every decision—down to finishes, fasteners, and systems—was driven by an unwavering dedication to exceptional craftsmanship, period correctness, and uncompromising safety. This is the work we take pride in: honoring the aircraft’s legacy while ensuring she is reliable, authentic, and ready to fly for generations to come.

At Fagen Fighters Restoration, we view our customers as partners in preservation. Together, we are not merely restoring an aircraft—we are safeguarding a story, paying tribute to the Greatest Generation, and keeping their legacy alive in the skies where it belongs.

Safe flying to Jane VI and her pilot.
