Jay Leno and the Collings Foundation TP-51C from Arizona Keough by Ryan Keough ~ Nice little piece coming out of Hollywood today - Jay Leno’s Garage featuring the Collings Foundation (who I used to work for) and their new North American TP-51C Mustang. Jay talks with Rob Collings about the aircraft and the foundation… Good press for Collings Foundation and I am sure Jay Leno had a blast as well! While I was at the foundation, Jay Leno was a great friend of the crew’s and came out to visit the planes many times when they visited Burbank. Jay’s garage is based right at the airport.
