Would not mind having a P-40 in the backyard.  Make it into a sim.....

Great Idea <angel> I guess we need to know how much ;D
I think I have room in my yard. Although Torrance may have a problem with it ???

Got a response about the P-40s on my blog: "Those P-40s are from Starr Aircraft (not related to a company in TX and one other Midwest RC model company). Ron and Leon Starr used to make high fidelity mock ups from drawings and photos for movies, museums and such. It was a father and son duo. I don't know the status of the father, but I believe the son used to and may still work here at Mojave at the NTPS as a mechanic."

yeah great stuff.  I see a muscle car in the replica P-40.  I wonder what they are for or where used in.  I didn't realize there was another Turbo Dakota out there too.

Needed to go do a mx check flight today, so we bounced over to the Cal City pattern. It was too windy for their usual skydiving and glider activities, but when you're in the air, you get to see some really interesting stuff, including what looks like a bunch of P-40 replicas and some Fougas. Have to run, so here's a few samples, more from the set will be posted to my blog later this evening.

Oh man, very cool ;D
