What's even cooler is, its only 20 mins from my house.

O.K. now please elaborate, who is Duffy, where was the ex-Blaire Warhawk and where is it going? I lost my decoder ring and can't figure this out. Do you have a serial number or N number?

[TAdan]

Here are a few shots of his Corsair, Thunderbolt, and Widgeon from the Millville show in 2011.

Was this the old alpine fighter collection bird?

If it's Tom Blair's one then I think so.

This P-40K was once operated by the Alpine Fighter Collection in New Zealand.
I was there at the Wanaka airshow in 1992 and saw its first flight after restoration.

Hope she loses the shiney paint job.

[Dave Homewood]

I was there too Damon, and saw its first flight, with Mark Hanna at the controls just before the show started. Cutting it fine but very expert guys so no problems with it. I used to enjoy seeing this aircraft visiting RNZAF Base Wigram when I was based there.

No change of paint scheme scheduled for the time being.
