My grandfather flew P-40's from Darwin when it was bombed by the Japanese, he also flew missions over Papua New-Guinea and helped teach the Americans about jungle warfare. His brother was a tank operator, and was unfortunately killed in New Guinea. My grandfather is still alive today though, he's a good man, and likes talking about the war, it seems to be the only thing he really cares about from his past, it gives him a sense of importance. He certainly is important, and apparently a fantastic pilot.

Nothing quite like a long-nose P-40!
Shared for the Flying Tiger out there who don't often connect.
What is the name of that song in the slow motion flyby?
Nice
Is this a P-40B or C ?
machia0705 She would be a P-40C, and she looks to be well cared for and sounds very healthy !
