While assigned to USS MCCLUSKY (FFG-41), homeported in Long Beach, Ca, I lived in Chino, CA, that being the closest that I could afford to purchase a home. During my free time, I would go to the Planes of Fame Museum and bend wrenches on some sweet War Birds. I found this on their Facebook page. Click on the links for some more eye candy. It took me longer to assemble my ready to fly P-40 back in the day…
Build a P-40-C
What a super plane ! I will be interested to see that come to fruition .

ps Did you notice , typically , a Pilot , complete with flight bag , turned up at 00.58 asking if it was ready yet ?
And one of my most favourite planes in the background at the start , a Beaufighter . I flew on them . Wowieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .
Cool video. It must have been pretty breezy in the hanger some days as those large lamps hung from the ceiling really move around quite a bit in the time-lapse.
