Word in the Hangar that the New Tri-State Warbird Museum P-40 will be making it's debut at Oshkosh. I hear she is a looker, might just get that Champion Trophy ...!!! :shock:

RNZAF

I believe the legendary Geoff Fisken had some flight time in this bird during the war.

Definately in RNZAF colours. I interviewed an RNZAF P-40 pilot (one of the very few remaining alive now who saw combat in the type) last week - Allan 'Skip' Watson and I noted this aircraft in his logbook from his OTU days in NZ.
