Coming in a bit late here... I've been out of the loop since last December or so, and was a bit shocked when I came across this thread just now.
I met Mr. Baranaskas only twice, both times at Geneseo... 2007, and 2008. 'Twas a brief exchange of pleasantries in each case, but the impression I had was that this was a really groovy guy...
He was one of three pilots who provided a thrill for me just a day or so before Genny 2008, when two P-40s and an SNJ passed directly overhead while I was sitting on the deck out back... a moment I will never forget...

Big question on this one
NTSB has the aircraft as P-40N 44-7368
My records say she was
Hawk 87A-3 c/n 15370 AK899
Whats the correct id for this aircraft
The Hawk in question was AK899... I can only guess that the NTSB mistakenly identified it as P-40N 44-7369, and that the 7368 was merely a typo piled on top of that mistake.
Fade to Black...
