P40C AK295

It is going to the U. S., as you probably know, as the owner (warbird collector Rod Lewis) lives in San Antonio. Last time I counted, he has 19 warbirds, some of them quite unusual–only flying Douglas A-20 Havoc, an original Tuskegee Airmen AT-6, the Bearcat racer Rare Bear, the P-38 Glacier Girl). His collection is private, unlike those of Kermit Weeks or Paul Allen, but he does fly many of his aircraft in air shows.

Wonderful clips!

What are the plans for this bird? Hopefully it will be a part of the airshow circuit…provided they are careful. C models are quite rare! 🙂

Here’s a video of the aircraft display at Classic Fighters 2011 over Easter:
