Good point about the scenery n0i "The second picture is the airplane arriving at Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada after being purchased (towed from Pat Bay Air Station to Salt Spring Island by a fishing boat while on a raft of logs!). The rest of the pictures show how she looks today back at Pat Bay Airport, Sidney, British Columbia." http://www.p40warhawk.com/P-40sToday...-40E/P-40E.htm |
