- READING, PA - "The P-40 I flew - American Dream - is now correctly designated as a TP-40. That means it has been converted into a trainer configuration. Owned and operated by Thom Richard of Warbird Adventures in Kissimmee, Florida, American Dream is the world’s only commercially owned duel controlled / duel cockpit Warhawk in service." - Tony Hayes

How cool is that. Just gotta love those war birds. My dad was WWII, I was Korea, so I salute you old war bird pilots.
Thank you for this great review of the P-40 Warhawk.
Really cool! American Volunteer Group and the P 40 were both heroes to me and still my favorite unit and plane. Both did the impossible v. high odds.
Viewed the P-40, at the Glen Curtiss Museum. Very proud it was produced in Buffalo , NY. Wow! Over 13,000 of the aircraft. Less than thirty are flyable today. Beautiful aircraft that definitely turned-the-tide in Europe. Awesome video.
Would love to do this. Been wanting to do this my entire life but never thought it could be possible until I saw this video. What an outstanding & awesome service this pilot provides. God bless you sir and best wishes.
Love that p40 beautiful aircraft.
Took a ride around the patch with Thom in Geneseo. Bucket list experience!
Kermit Weeks of Fantasy of Flight in Polk City FL also has a dual control P-40 that’s maintained in airworthy condition. I’d refer the reader to his UA-cam channel.
Baltimore Post Examiner: in your description paragraph, use the word "dual." It is an adjective, means "two" or "twin."
The word "duel" is noun; describes a contest historically involving pistols or swords.
I just thought you'd like to know.
The late great Jeff Ethel stated the controls of the P-51 felt like they were stuck in concrete next to the P-40.
The P-40 although considered “obsolete at the start of the war was still a good strong performer at up to medium altitudes at or below 15,000 feet. Above 15,000 the supercharger of that model Allison engine would not provide sufficient power to put the P-40 on competitive footing with it’s adversaries. That said however many a Luftwaffe pilot was wary about engaging RAF flown P-40’s at medium altitudes over North Africa as the Warhawk was quite capable of defeating the bf-109 at those altitudes. With a high roll rate and adequate turn rate the P-40 was not a fighter to be trifled with in the hands of a skilled and experienced pilot.
I wonder what a new build P-40E or P-40N with a. Pt-6 turbine would be like?
Back ground music plz?
they should keep making those nice airplane for the pilot want to fly them or training some new pilot
