Take off with no flaps huh.
Sorry, Restored not rebuilt, there is a difference
Yes it did see combat, flown in the war by Robert Warren, the plane is named Little Jeanne.
The pilot in the video will be Murray Griffith, who owns the company that rebuilt the aircraft, or Gus Larard, a friend of his and former RAAF pilot.
the company is called Precision Aerospace and is based in Wangaratta australia.
The plane has recently been sold to a French buyer
This restored P-40N is missing it's main landing gear doors that are suppose to be on each side of the struts.
This P-40N saw combat with the 49th FG in New Guinea in 1944 and wears it's exact markings.
A little to much pressure in gear struts. 4 fingers is proper.
Nice video; great plane! One thing though: I do believe it steers on the ground using differential braking of the main gear, and not using the rudder.
Based on the tail number, was this aircraft on active duty in WWII with any allied unit, and did it see combat? If it did, does it have any record? Who is the pilot in this video and how long has he been flying it?
