Warbird Information Exchange

Hadn't noticed until this morning that Atlanta Warbird Weekend is up to nine participating Hawks! Astounding!

What really surprised me was seeing Tri-State Museum's P-40M NZ3119 on the list. Has any type of first flight been announced (assuming she's not heading to Georgia on a flatbed)?

I can't be the only one that can't make Atlanta but would still like to see her fly in 2016.

I've heard buzz that the P-40M could be ready for Oshkosh. Don't know how much truth there is to that. I haven't seen any pictures or recent updates.

Well sure enough...here she is from a couple of weeks ago (Courtesy Tri-State Facebook):

Question is: Is her spinner mounted for show or because she's ready to go?

I hope she flies again soon, what a stunning machine. And it would be great to see an RNZAF-vet P-40 flying in RNZAF colours again!
