Could this be the one at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage? I can't remember what model/serial number that was, and can't find it in the registry. It is under restoration at present. The wings are still outside, but the fuselage is being done elsewhere in Anchorage.

Cheers,

I thought that one was a P-40E?
