I have never read that the Tigers repainted them daily, the chinese did however build a number of bamboo mockups of P-40s that were strafed quite regularly by the Japanese.

So that's where it went!

Dammit Beefcake, give it back, I knew I built one but all I could find was that pic.

I have 13 P40s, six are in AVG markings but not pilot specific, the rest S. African, Russian, British and US.

I am too lazy to look it up right now but I think the AVG did indeed paint spinners red.
I could be wrong though.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

Well, check the links I have above, and ask Erik Shilling and Dick Rossi yourselves if you don't belive me.

Dick and Erik can be reached via the rec.aviation.military newsgroup, also via deja news.

And you can ask the others (Tex Hill, Ken Jernstedt, Etc) at the Official Flying Tigers Website.  Post a message to the web editor and he will get back to you.

They were green.

Also you can check in with Dan Ford at the My Delphi Forums look for the Annals of Military Aviation Forum.  Dan Ford wrote "Flying Tigers" for the smithsonian.

Other than that, you have to build a time machine and go to China, mid august 1941 to July 1942.

I was lucky enough to get to watch the Cavanaugh P-40N fly at the 4th of July show (held on the 3rd for some reason). I went over to the airport early and snagged a spot about 75 yards from the runup area at the north end of Addison Airport. The P-40N has been painted up in honor of Charlie Bond who was also a volunteer at the museum. Watching that bird lift off and fly was a wonderful thing to see.

They also few a Steerman, L-4, 3 T-6's, a T-34, TBM, and the Mustang.

I was just down the ramp from ya. At Cavanaughs then out by the Taxiway for the flybys.....now if I could convince my wife not to announce to everyone that "Look the cute plane stuck its legs out" as it was dropping gear.
