VIDEO OF THE WEEK: CURTISS P-40N WARHAWK TAXI & TAKEOFF

This week, we cast our far-roving eye toward the viral video clips of Australia (specifically, Wangaratta, Victoria — a well-known source of "POTW" submissions for AVweb). YouTube user hyperscale treats us to some candid video of a Curtiss P-40N Warhawk taxiing and taking off from Wangaratta. Click through to watch.

That is definitely one of my favourite airplanes. There's something about the P-40's that I just love. They're not the fastest, or the most manuverable, but they look beautiful and have a kind of "class" about them.

Thanks for posting that.

Cheers,

David

You all know the P-40 is my favorite! Great video. Simular to the one I posted a few weeks ago only it was a different year.
