BAM'n'IVM Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Not the greatest pics, but here's the Cavanaugh Museum's P-40. Pretty sure Jinxx caught it at an airshow in his fourth pic above. Edited June 29, 2008 by BAM'n'IVM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your shots look pretty good to me! I caught it at the Dyess AFB open house in May. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 First two shots are of "The Jackie C" of the American Airpower Museum. Next two are of the P-40 owned by Warbirds Over Long Island During his demo at the Jones Beach Air Show, the P-40 suffered a major oil leak. Pilot Bob Baranskas brought the plane home safely, despite losing his helmet while trying to see around an oil-covered windscreen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Roberts Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Are 'Lopes Hope' and 'Holdin my own' in the right scheme? Desert? I'd heard of Kittyhawks in the CBI being in Desert camo but I'd never seen pics of them. Just seems strange to see two restored ones in a desert scheme. Love to see more P-40s without sharkmouths though. The P-40 is my favorite WW II US fighter and anymore I go out of my way NOT to have sharkmouths on my builds! I've gotten that tired of them.

Aggressor Supporter Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nice pics all of one of my all time favorite WW2 planes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Perry Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) French P-40 Not French, the name on the nose notwithstanding. This one was built for the Chinese air force, impressed into the USAAF and saw service in New Guinea. It was abandoned there, recovered and taken to Australia on the 1970s. Since made airworthy. A pretty shot of a pretty example. Edited July 2, 2008 by Bob Perry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Viper Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 By french I mean the registration. But thanks for the history lesson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Perry Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 By french I mean the registration. But thanks for the history lesson. I hadn't noticed the new registration, something more to add to my files. Thanks! The last I heard of this machine it was in Australia. Brett Green had a walkaround over on HS, even had a picture of himself in the cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
