Something a bit odd there. How can two aircraft share the same serial number?

Cheers,

They don't, the side lettering is used for Callsigns and unit markings. In this case, the lettering is "NE*ANG" for the 'Nebraska Air National Guard'. The serial numbers are at the base of the tailfin, and appear to be (L) -842 and (R) -107.

Cheers

Those p51's look like they are photoshopped onto that picture. Did Nebraska use that style of "N" in 1951? I also have a hard time believing the Nebraska Air Guard would allow their planes to be custom painted for the Huskers. I love the picture, but the planes look like they are pasted in. Also, aren't they awfully close to each other?
