P-40 Gatherings since WWII

[mrhenniger]

When and where have the largest P-40s gatherings been since WWII? How did Geneseo 2008 compare?

The Nationalist Chinese still had several squadrons worth after WW2 till at least 1948 or 49 when they were driven to Taiwan. I think several Latin and South American air forces had squadrons of them probably until the mid and late 1950s when T'bolts and Mustangs would have replaced them.

I think Weather Modification Inc. was an operator of civilian P-40s but I am not sure how many they had or whether they ever operated together.

I have to think that Geneseo has to be one of the biggest if not the biggest gathering of P-40s in 50 years.

We are going to have 4 or 5 P-40's at our "P-40 days...A Salute To The AVG" event at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa Idaho May 30-31 next year. We'll be flying the Hawks several times each day.
