caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Das Bild zeigt eine North American P-51C Mustang, Seriennummer 103-26199, gebaut in Dallas/Texas, am 7. April 1944 ausgeliefert an das US Army Air Corps als 42-103645. Eingesetzt als Schulflugzeug in Florida, Georgia und Montana bis Oktober 1945, dann ausgemustert. In privater Hand seit 1970 mit verschiedenen zivilen Registrierungen (N9288, N215CA, seit 26. April 2001 als NL61429). Grundlegend restauriert von 1996 bis 2001, genannt Tuskegee Airmen, flog erstmals wieder am 10. Mai 2001. Die neue Bemalung und Markierung ist nicht authentisch, sondern ein Sammelsurium von Einheitskennzeichen, die mit den Tuskegees in Verbindung stehen: Gelbe Bänder an den Tragflächen für die 101. Jägerstaffel, gelbe Trimmruder (hier nicht sichtbar) und gelbrote Streifen vorne für die 302. Jägerstaffel. Auf den Seiten (nicht sichtbar) ein A für die 99. Jägerstaffel und die Zahl 42 für die 301. Jägerstaffel sowie Markierungen verschiedener Bomberstaffeln. Am 29. Mai 2004, acht Tage nachdem diese Aufnahme entstand, verünglückte diese Maschine bei einer Bruchlandung während einer Flugschau in Bay City, Wisconsin. Der Pilot David Hinz starb einen Tag später an seinen schweren Verletzungen, die Mustang wurde stark beschädigt und wird seither wieder aufgebaut.

context_page_description: Red Tail Reborn is a 2007 historical documentary film by Adam White about the Commemorative Air Force's Red Tail Project. The project involves the restoration, exhibition and maintenance of a World War II P-51 Mustang flown by the United States Air Force 332d Fighter Group. The exhibition of this plane is considered to be a traveling and flying tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen. In addition to increasing awareness of the travails of the Tuskegee Airmen, this film served to highlight the Red Tail Project fundraising effort to rebuild the plane after a 2004 crash.
  The film was initially broadcast and released on DVD in 2007 in the director's home state of Ohio, winning local Emmy Award recognition. The following year, it was broadcast nationally for the first time on Public Broadcasting Services stations. The film had a sequel called Flight of the Red Tail.
context_section_description: In 2008, the film garnered three regional Emmy Awards from the Lower Great Lakes Region of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in the following categories: Best Informational/Instructional Program, Best Music Composition/ Arrangement and Best Research.  The film had been nominated for a total of six Emmys including the following additional categories: Best Lighting Location, Best Videographer – Program (Non News), Best Writer – Program (Non-News).  The 2004 film followed the success of The Restorers, which chronicled the restoration efforts for various warbird and vintage aircraft and which also won regional Emmy Award recognition.  Whereas, The Restorers focuses on general aircraft restoration, the Red Tail Reborn expounds upon the restoration and rebuilding of a specific  plane and the Red Tail Project.  Although it was not released in theatres and its DVD sales were not among the top 100 in 2007, the success of its national airing spawned a 2009 sequel entitled Flight of the Red Tail, which is also known as Red Tail Reborn 2, that was available on DVD on November 27.  The sequel is a 12-minute documentary follow-up.
