The one that always made me scratch my head is the P-39 "Snooks 2nd" flown by Bill Shomo. That aircraft the last time I saw it was sitting in pieces unrestored out at MAPS in Akron Ohio. I always hoped the NMUSAF would get it and restore it. It is such a historic aircraft!



The P-39 left MAPS back to MARC about 2-3 years ago.
