I haven't done a work-up on the history of the San Diego P-40 yet, but here is what I have so far...
Aerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, s/n 1064 RCAF, c/r N40FT
...and WD5 confirms this is/was the San Diego Air and Space Museum machine.

Here is the one I have noted recently arrived at Ford Island...
Aerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, c/r N1009N
...and again I haven't done the work-up on the history.

Both of these dossiers may contain errors as I haven't gone through them in detail yet. Having said that What I have looked at so far, seems to indicate these are two different P-40s.

I don't think I have see an ID quoted for the new Ford Island P-40. Can anyone tell me which P-40 recently arrived at Ford Island?

It looks like an E to me. Here it is before it left in May of this year.
This is the FedEx P-40 with the signatures of some of the Flying Tigers on its tail.

Is it possible to be one of the early N models before they adopted the cut down rear cockpit? Look at the height of the tail gear/wheel.

Thanks gents. I have made the appropriate corrections.

Not sure where you got N1009N from but that sure not in Hawaii.
That's bob Sturges old M that Tom Camp restored and his been flying
in the UK for years.
The X- SD E was also, I think, restored by Camp and went from Flying Tiger
to Fed Ex when they purchased them. I first saw it in SD in 1986. The paint job
expecially the shark's mouth reminds of the box art for the Revell P-40E 1/32 scale.

Don't pay attention to what the paperwork.
Evergreen swears up and down their P-40K is a Curtiss/Whittington Kittyhawk not a K at all:roll:

WTF? Was the info from a mechanic or some suit in the front office?Do they even have mechanics there at evergreen anymore?From what I remember a judge used to own that bird back in the 80s and its one of the cooling off birds from Alaska.
