P-39 identity help

Fri Jul 12, 2013 12:39 am

I'll confess having fallen asleep at the radar screen (again).

Could someone please attach an identity to this Airacobra on Pacific Fighters facebook page for me. Thank you.

And should we be expecting "Berlin Express" at the little Wisconsin fly-in?

Speculation is fine if you really don't know. :wink:

I assume that this is the P-39 recovered from a lake-bottom in Canada's Northwest Territories 20-plus years ago as it is painted in the same scheme with same tail serial number. More here:

Looking great! And it's come a long way since I saw it in 2010, assuming it's the same aircraft:

If interested, here are some more pics of the finished P-39 at Pacific Fighters, that had been posted to the Tillamook Air Museum FB page:
