Hello to the WIX board: longtime lurker, first time poster.

I live in Phoenix and driving out to Mesa on I-10 yesterday I saw a P-40 fuselage on a flatbed truck, mostly complete with a few engines, wing parts, etc on the trailer as well going westbound (towards LA, I'd assume). It was OD green, looked to be an N or maybe a K or M or L model (it was a quick glimpse) and it looked like it had faded Aleutians islands "Bengal Tiger" nose art rather than sharks teeth. Anyone know anything about that airframe?

Welcome to the WIX Doctor!
I'm not sure what P-40 you saw, is it possible this one has been imported to the states?

There are a few P-40 experts here on the board that may have a better idea of which one you saw...

The Hanger 11 P-40 was reported in another place as in the air over North Weald on Sunday. Definately still in UK.
