Steve O. Reno...THANKS! Excellent photo...just what I was looking for to show my buds what I was talking about...thanks for posting that. :)

John Curtiss-Paul, you mentioned your Dad's E-model having parts from this P-40...what bird does your Dad fly?

Thanks again one and all for all the great info and photos!

Here's one when Bud Granley flew it into Salem for some radio work. He flew it in a number of airshows in the NW and did some great acrobatics in it.

My Dad got to that one to and made a deal with the gas station owner that he could take anything he wanted off the plane as long as it still looked the same from the road. My Dad took absolutely everything out of that plane. He even made fake control surfaces to put on it so he could take those to. Much of that airplane is in and on his E model P-40.

In what shape were the internal bits and pieces your dad got? Judging from the photo atop the gas station the cockpit was open, and as far as I know the weather there is not exactly like southern California...
