Duxford's P-40B

[Njaco]

What a beauty. A bit off topic, but I was visiting Yosemite Valley in California and read where several P-40s like these buzzed the valley at the same time either just before the war or just after the start of it. Think it was before the United States entered the war. Was thinking how nice that must have been for the pilots involved. One of the most scenic places on Earth, and at the controls of a Tomahawk at tree top level, those Allison engines echoing through the valley and amongst those majestic waterfalls.

I found video of that!
