I'll confess having fallen asleep at the radar screen (again).

Could someone please attach an identity to this Airacobra on Pacific Fighters facebook page for me. Thank you.

And should we be expecting "Berlin Express" at the little Wisconsin fly-in?

Speculation is fine if you really don't know. :wink:

I assume that this is the P-39 recovered from a lake-bottom in Canada's Northwest Territories 20-plus years ago as it is painted in the same scheme with same tail serial number. More here:
