Love seeing that P-40 restored! I used to live down the street from General Tex and Maizy Hill. I had the AVG "blood chit" leather jacket and Revell model P-40! Tex used to tell us stories of the AVG Flying Tigers.
Garth was one of the owners of Pioneer Aero in 2006 when we contracted to build the P-40 which went to Vintage Wings of Canada. I worked with him for 3 years on that. Excellent experience, with excellent people -- and they turned out a truly excellent airplane. I wish ours had had the operating .50s though, like Garth's! I also wish that interviewer had the foggiest clue of what was going on, and had done some actual homework. Garth was quite kind to her. Considering.

That’s a beautiful airplane! The P-40 has been one of my favorites since I was a very small child. 😊👍🏻
The same here too! Had a toy P-40 as a child.

Beautiful sound. Have seen one fly at Temora a few years back. Definitely one of my favourite aircraft.
God bless this man.
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. Thank you for this great video.
Many thanks!
Amazing resolution in the video. Some vids taken today aren't nearly as sharp.
Awesome..!
Very cool.
How original is it in %?
And now this P-40 has been sold to an American ... And is leaving NZ asap
