No worries Bab, didn't know I was going till the last minute - so no time to put up a "who's going" thread. Hope to catch up with ya sometime.

Sorry Dan, nothing on a board about the P40, nothing in the booklet I got there either.

in 1940 the USAAC received 3 P40B's that were Bare Metal that is one I believe.

I get the scheme.  I'm wondering about the story on this particular airframe and whether it will be a flier.  There have been three other early P40s restored in the last few years.  This one is a 4th and was not on Anyone's radar.  I'd never seen it mentioned anywhere.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.
