P-63 mistery ship

Fri Mar 07, 2008 5:05 am

Hi gang

this photo is from somewhere on the web and just re-surfaced on my HDD....

Image

it's a P-63 in what seems to be faded Yugoslavian AF markings...

I have no clue as to when, where, why, etc... so I throw the ball to you in high hopes that someone can produce some hard facts.

TIA !

I remember that photo from a thread a few years back...IIRC that bird was in a park in the south U.S.
...I think Georgia for some reason. It's remarkable she was't stripped internally before display in the park.
The complete cannon magazine and nose bits...Allison complete..quite a find! :D
