Or is it no longer in America?

The accident you have photos from are from the Duxford Flying Legends airshow. The Air Safety Foundation shows the plane as a Commonwealth CA-18 Mk 22, with German registry to Air Fighter Academy GmbH.

In this photo, you can see the German registration marks under the horizontal stab.




The Big Beautiful Doll that I am familiar with is an American P-51 with US Registry N351BD. FAA says it is still a valid registration.
