P-40 Walkaround

[FLYBOYJ]

I took these in June at the Pylon School at Reno. 2 P-40s showed up to the school. These same two guys also raced in September

Nice stuff, Joe.

Excellent shots Joe and great subjects to boot. Do you know if they actually use the belly tanks of if they are just for looks. I have been curious as to wether or not the FAA would allow their use or not.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I believe they use the belly tanks but they cannot be jettisoned.

Wonderful candid pictures. I've always had a soft spot for the P-40.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you. I kinda figured they had to be hard mounted so as to reduce the possibility of injuring someone on the ground. I just didn't know if they were allowed to use them or not. Again, excellent photos sir. The detail shots I can definitely use for a model build.

I love these Warhawks. Great photos and thanks for sharing. Are these P-40s from Flying tigers?

No Max - they are privately owned and were flown at the Reno Air Races in 2010.
