The P-40f was like the Huey not the best but the one of the most dependable warhorses ever made.

I love guitars and cars, but I must say, these planes are extremely beautiful!

It's CHINO - not Chino Hills!

As far as I know, that SBD Dauntless is airworthy. I've seen many pictures of that SBD in the air. The SBD Dauntless is one of my favorite planes.

These are some very beautiful examples of aviation history. Its a shame that there isn't more of them still in flying condition these days. True works of art

@tippman2k01 not sure if it is airworthy or not. but, if i remember from the last time i was at Plane of Fame, that SBD was the one flown by Pres Bush.

Whenever I listen to that Merlin engine, I feel like eating something sweet. It's sound is just so sweet.

@justforever96 I love WWII dogfight chronicles, and in one of them I read that a Jap pilot said that he needed not less than 200 bullets to shoot a P-40 down. In another, a P-40 pilot returned with his plane "so filled with holes all over that you only needed to put it against the sun to realize that you were flying on a sieve". And ace Clive Caldwell returned to base with a P-40 which right wing was quite severely damaged. Could a P-51 have survived any of these situations? I seriously doubt it
p40s r so cool
