stevehnz Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Those are nice. We're lucky to have one also in New Zealand & I like how a big fat bird can be so agile & put on a good show, looks like your one does too. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModellerCH Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yeah I agree... sometimes i think it's also i bit sad that people link WW2 air war only to Spitfire, P-51 and B-17 . Sure those birds are awesome and they achieved somenthing incredible...but there is a group of planes that deserve the same respect and without them the issue of war would have been not the same. Planes like the TBF, the SBD, the Swordfish, Sunderland or even the the Liberator sometimes disappear in the shadow of a few air war legends...but well...at least here in Switzerland we are lucky enough to have a SBD and the only remaining MS 406. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wow! Thanks for sharing! Yep, a Turkey can be thrown around pretty briskly, especially when you remove all the armor plate, armament, other military equipment and about half the fuel load. If warbirds weren't pretty much restricted nowadays to low-lead, low octane fuel and very low manifold pressure settings, and had 100/130/150 octane fuel, you would really see something! (In conversation with the owner/pilot of an A-26 at an airshow, he told me it is very dicey flying multi-engined warbirds nowadays, as the fuel is so low in octane and with the low boost settings that have to be used, it's pretty scary if one engine packs it in on take-off and some types cannot maintain altitude with one engine out, due to the much lower power available.) Trivia for the day! Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The same machine took part in the Russian AF 100th Anniversary celebrations showing the history of the Soviet/Russia Air Force held at Zhukovsky in 2012...... Not sure what the connection with Russia was though - but it was another warbird in the display..... Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you enjoy Personally I find the P-40 a real beauty...that huge radiator under the nose gives the plane a unique and somehow aggressive look Coming soon...Yak-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nice selection. For Occa: The P-40 is based at Duxford and part of the TFC. (Unless they have sold it???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
