Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

Thought I'd go with the flow in the new "airshow gallery". This Warhawk was photographed a couple weeks ago at a warbird fly-in in Valle, AZ. It is sporting the Flying Tiger "shark" motif of the American Volunteer Group that flew in China.

what a stunning photo, love the clarity and the detail

Its a TP-40 isnt it? the difference being that its a twin seater? thats ultra rare not seen one airworthy before :o

Hi Peter. Thanks for your comments. I don't believe this is a true TP-40 with dual controls. It is US registered as a P-40N. It has probably been modified to add the second seat so that it can accomodate paying passengers, like the lady in the back seat of this one. Thanks again!
