This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Fagen Fighters has announced that they've placed P-39D 41-6951 on display. It was purchased from the Beck Museum in Australia. This is s combat veteran with the 5th AF, that is credited with being the first USAAF type to score an aerial victory in PNG. They said it's on static display until a restoration happens. The photos they shared on Facebook aren't super clear, but if it's in survivor condition, I hope it's left alone. Either way, a great addition to an already outstanding fleet.

Found some photos of it at its prior home. Looks like a great acquisition!

Fagen has already stated the plan is to restore it to airworthy at some point.
