I have tried to help with parts some years ago but ,they want everything for free or there abouts.Sorry, cant do that.The bird needs so many parts that are not a breeze to manufacture.Could be why not much has been done.

it would be nice to see this bird restored. I just don't get if you recover an aircraft why you don't plan on doing anything with it? :? My cousin lives in Anchorage and am pretty sure he's been to that museum. But he never mensioned anything about that P-40. :(

they will probably melt it down into beer cans as it is no longer a historic treasure cause it was moved from its original spot.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.
