Can you help me identify a vintage airplane in a painting?
$begingroup$
This is a recent photo of the king of Spain, Felipe VI, visiting Spanish troops stationed in Iraq. In the background there is a picture of an old plane, possibly with a propeller, that I suppose from WW2 era (more or less).
If that painting has been chosen to adorn a military installation located in Iraq and occupied by Spanish troops, I understand that it must be a type of historical significance for Spain or for Iraq.
Can anyone recognize it?

@NKCampbell Me too. I just found funny that I considered the possibility that it was an iconic plane for Spain and turned out to be a P-51 Mustang. :)

The aircraft in the painting (I’m not sure it is a painting?) is a North American P-51C Mustang in the Tuskegee Airmen colors of the U.S. Air Force in WW II.
I cropped the image above and then used TinEye Reverse Image Search to find the photo.
My search has expired on that website, but you can copy the “fuzzy” photo and try it yourself on the same site.

@WoJ: Not only are the planes identical, but the clouds are as well. Identical-looking aircraft from matching camera angles would be a possible coincidence, but matching clouds? No way.
