Voodoo is a highly modified North American P-51 Mustang that was the 2013, 2014 and 2016[1] Unlimited-class champion of the Reno Air Races.

[2][3] The P-51D-25-NA (original s/n 44-73415) was built in 1944 by North American Aviation at Inglewood, California, for the United States Army.

The aircraft was then transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Mustang IV with serial number 9289 in February 1951.

In 2013, Voodoo, still owned by Bob Button, was raced at Reno by Steven Hinton, Jr., who won the unlimited gold trophy and the national championship while reaching speeds of over 500 mph (800 km/h).

After Voodoo underwent further modifications, including removal of the aircraft's racer paint scheme and gaining sponsorship by Aviation Partners, Hinton made an attempt to break the 3 km World Speed Record of 528.33 mph (850.26 km/h) set by Rare Bear on 21 August 1989.

The record attempt was set to occur on 27 August 2017 at an undisclosed location in Idaho[9] but was delayed until the next day due to weather conditions.
