The OLD CROW flight jacket is the jacket worn by Col. Bud Anderson during World War II in his P51 Mustang, The OLD CROW. Col. Anderson as a member of the 363rd Fighter Squadron flew 116 missions without being hit by enemy fire. Scoring 16 1/4 Aerial victories, Chuck Yeager called Bud Anderson the best fighter pilot he ever saw. US Wings CEO SFC David D. Hack, US Army (Ret), presented Mr. Jack Roush, CEO of Roush Enterprises (which is comprised of Roush Fenway Racing, Roush Performance Motors, and Roush Industries), with a custom A-2 flight jacket hand-painted by The Peters Group.
This A-2 is modeled after the jacket that Colonel Bud Anderson wore while piloting his P-51 Mustang “Old Crow” in WWII. Mr. Roush flies his own P-51 Mustang and it is painted to replicate Colonel Anderson’s Old Crow. In the picture above, you can see Mr. Roush’s P 51 Mustang, “Old Crow”.
In honor of Mr. Roush’s patriotic endeavors, Sgt. Hack presented Mr. Roush with this custom A-2 and his personal Purple Heart challenge coin at Roush Performance Headquarters in Livonia, MI on August 15, 2013.
