Awesome! Thanks for posting!

And I don't care what anybody says, I love the TORA team! They just need to bring there act into the 21st century with a little more (accurate) Hollywood! :wink:

With reenactors defending the field from the ground!

Yes Lynn that was #1 before he had it painted Air Farce. Note your favorite brothers picture in front of 817.

I know! Its a shame they cant do that for every show they do! But then Im the guy that keeps saying the CAF needs to purchase the P-40B from TFC at Duxford to add to the Tora squadron. :shock:

Consumed by the Conroe hangar fire of June, 1994. The only recognizable pieces were the engine core, steel framework in the fuselage, and the main gear struts. There was a C-45 next to it with 320 gal gas on board which helped accellerate the process.

Tora's usually friendly to any local reenactors. WOH usually has some as does Randolph or Kelly / Lackland.
And (can't resist this comment) you really don't want the CAF to purchase that P-40 as I don't think any of us really want it to get stamped. :shock:

A better idea would be for Mr. Lewis to have it and let it fly with Tora. :idea:

That's one nice looking Spitfire. Who owns it and where is it now?

I believe it is the former CAF spit, lost in the hangar fire in Canada.
