Not, P-51's, it was Vought F4U Corsairs during the 'Football War' between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969.
Captain Fernando Soto of the Honduran AF flying his F4U-5 Corsair, shot down 3 aircraft of the El Salvador AF, a Cavalier Mustang, and two FG-1 Corsair's.
This was the ever last piston engine fighter vs piston engine fighter combat kills.
