Thank you for sharing some photos from the warbird turnout, Bill - some exceptional restorations gathered there. That P-40 is enjoying a lot nicer climate right now than it has been used to over the past several months. ; )

Here are a few more.
I would really like to see some photos of the 2 Tigercats that came in Wednesday afternoon.
I didn't get any shots of them. (Mark did you? Think that was you out by the Nikon Tower?)

The three Tigercats at Sun 'n Fun are Jim Slattery's example restored by Westpac (and having come from a recent stop at Chino) and both of Rod Lewis' from Texas.

Aha! That must be where Steve Hinton and the Tigercat were headed when I ran across them a few days ago at Goodyear.
