You got my vote, while you're at it add any planes which saw action before 1943.

 I would suppose that HT will be taking some time off his rigorous schedule(and rightly so).I too have lost immediate family members and can attest to the immense drain it puts on the will.I should hope that we all drop our expectations of AH future devopement for an indefinate amount of time.I personally lost all drive and hope for at least a full year each time I suffered such a catastrophic loss as Dale has now to endure.
 That being said,at the end of my mourning period,I gradually started to realize my inate passions again.I'm sure HTC will go on again as we all learn to do.The hardest lesson in life is 'letting the pain go'.
 But,...P-40 has always been my favorite dream too Downtown  .Life goes on mates,keep the passion.

I've said it before.. I'll say it again:

If the P-40 is modelled... I'll make it my permanent ride.  (squad nights excluded)

I've loved this plane since I was 4!

Here is a link to a site with some excellent reference material on the Flying Tigers.
 http://home.att.net/~C.C.Jordan/

I've attached some pictures...the two in color show the only Flying Tiger variant of the P-40 flying today. The fellow in the cockpit is Erik Shilling...alive and kicking today...sitting in the cockpit of that aircraft.

 

 

 

If you like the P-40 and the way it was flown by the AVG, then you gotta like the BnZ and the HO!

Erik sat in that plane at Chino, he didn't fly it.  Also that plane is a "C" the Flying Tigers Flew "B's"

I have had much communication with CC and Erik on the Subject.

I also reccomend The Official Flying Tigers Web Site

Dan Ford wrote "Flying Tigers" for the Smithsonian

Of course P-40.com

As well as rec.aviation.military newsgroup.

Other thing with the Chino "C."

Note the P-40Bs in the B&W picture of the Tigers, English L shaped Pitot Tube.

The Chino "C" has a straight Pitot Tube.

Also the Tigers didn't paint their nose cones red, they were spinach (dark forrest green) like the rest of the green on the planes.
