And it survived Pearl Harbor, even though it didn't get in the fight.

Where is the "Saweeet" emoticon? :wink:

Where is this one headed?

What would be an awsome display is for this to be used in the Tora Tora Tora display. :D

Duxford? Think it'll be there in time for "Legends" in July?
If so, I'll get some flying shots.

Nooooooooo....don't start "Will it be at........." on here as well :shock:

However.....I suspect as it has already test flown, there probably is a good chance that it will be over here in time for Leg-Ends....

OK...Just to see if I could get some accurate info, I sent this message to TFC.

Hello,
There is a rumor on one of the warbird forums that the P-40B that's in
Chino, at present, will be coming to TFC. If this is true, will it be
there in time for "Legends"?
Regards

Here's the message I got back.

Thanks for your message.
I am sure there are lots of rumours surrounding TFC aircraft.
All I can say is for verification of any rumours please keep visiting our
website for updates on all our aircraft.

Regards

A simple "Yes" or "no" answer would have been nice. Or even a "we're trying to get it here but aren't sure yet."". I don't understand the secrecy. Surely, with only 5 months before the show, they'd have some idea of it's status.
I know I'll catch some grief about my "opinion" so...let 'er rip! :hide: :gib:

Mudge the impatient
