Fantastic video. On my bucket list is to fly in a P-40. It does look like a tight fit in there. Thanks B! Cheers.

Very interesting. The plane that could accompany a bomber all the way to Berlin and back right? Goering, or one the top Nazi's, said when he saw them flying with the bombers over Berlin he knew the jig was up. Can't believe how small it looks in their, like riding a bicycle in a cage or something. I can't imagine flying one all over Europe! Maybe the wide angle lens has something to do with it.

wait till you fly over grass, then hit an outcropping of rock on a hot day 1000 ft. above it. esp. if only one wing hits the heat wave. the ride is on. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It was an awesome ride, I think this is the first time I saw the view from inside the cockpit and he spends an awful lot of the time flipping switches and turning knobs. Thanks for sharing.
