in 1957 i thought i saw at the airport many P-40's ( i think they where) stacked on their nose's, did i dream this or just young man's false memory.

I believe that often reproduced photo of P-40s on their noses was taken somewhere else (Walnut Ridge, Arkansas?).

I wouldn't be shocked if that also occurred near Tucson, my guess would be Ryan Field or Davis-Monthan.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

Stoney, are you maybe thinking of Kingman? I don’t know about P-40s, but lots of surplus airplanes there at one time. And, of course, Davis-Monthan AFB is located in Tucson. The surplus aircraft capital of the world. However, 1957 would probably be at least 10 years too late to see P-40s being scrapped.
