Even If You Are Not An Aviator

Curtiss P-40 GMP appears to have built another beauty, a P-40 E Warhawk in 1:35. If the P-40 is the same quality as GMP's P-51 it should provide hours of exploration and enjoyment. I 'm unable to keep my hands off of my P-51 Mustang, amusing myself for hours extending and retracting the landing gear. Wendy believes it's a fetish, and, since I like to do the same thing in real airplanes she is probably correct...









GMP's 'Glorious Glen III' P-51 Mustang.


















Number 4 shutdown and featherd; Boeing B-17, Tanker 34 working her way back to Sonoma Country C.D.F. Tanker Base, Santa Rosa, CA 1984. Crewing with Jerry Donahue. Tragically, J.D. was killed in a 1998 crash of a P2V Neptune in Montona.
I think of you often J.D, and your favorite quote:
'... just because it is on my side dosn't mean I broke it!'
