John Fallis' P-40 (Louisiana) First Flight!

I am glad to see the population went up by one more this week! John's a great guy and I can't wait to see it fly in person...

You'll see it this summer at the Geneseo Airshow for the P-40 Gathering, he's said he'll be attending!

Now we just need to send good restoration vibes to Chris Prevost in Sonoma, CA for his project to fly this year as well!

Any word on Don Brook's P-40 restoration in Douglas Georgia, it should be getting close.

I got a nice email from John today. The P-40 flew again this morning with only minor squawks involving the generator and prop. Paint scheme will be it's actual squadron ie 8th FS 49th FG 5th AF but no particular scheme yet but I'm working up a few for him. #43 flown by Bill Runey looks good to me though 8) Well see :?:
