Flying Heritage Collection took out two of its birds today in order to do some engine runs following their annual inspections. Included is their Curtiss P-40C Tomahawk which sports a new paint job (Nose and tail art by Mick Flynn - You da man!), and also their P-47D Thunderbolt. Enjoy the sounds!

What beautiful old airplanes they both were! Thank you very much for the video
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!!
They did an excellent job restoring this rare model P-40C Tomahawk to flying condition. I noticed it is missing the twin .50 caliber nose guns.
P 47 " Thunder bolt" , the Cadillac of fighter planes.
Good stuff.

Sorry, you are incorrect. Curtis P-40C-CU Tomahawk; c/n 16194, s/n 41-13390, N2689 This P-40C was manufactured for the US Army Air Corps between March and May 1941. It was then purchased by the British along with nine other P-40Cs to fill out an RAF order for Tomahawk IIBs. Subsequently supplied to the Russians, she arrived via convoy at Murmansk in January 1942 and was issued to 147 IAP VVS. (later to become 20 GIAP, a Guards unit). Over the next several months she saw service on the Karelian Front in the defense of Murmansk, and was one of two 20 GIAP (Guards Fighter Regiment) P-40s shot down on September 27th, 1942 south of Murmansk where she lay for some fifty-one years before being discovered by satellite photography in 1993. The P-40C was recovered by helicopter, dismantled, and eventually acquired by The Fighter Collection. It was restored to flying condition by Fighter Rebuilders Inc, Chino, CA, and its first post restoration flight was on 2 September 1998. This aircraft was later acquired by the Flying Heritage Collection.

Indeed! Seeing them in the air, in all their glory would be a real plus as well!
"Looks and Sound" SWEEEEET. Noticed on the forth time cranking the engine sounds like she is "Back-Firing" or just due to the Cold weather maybe???
prime prime prime prime.....!!
B's and C's are my favorites. They just ruined the looks of the later models when they deepened the cowl.

Pete 913 they had to for the larger rads used for the bigger Ellison engines they used.
Was that flames out of the carburettor intake? :O
@ warhawk40, Was it twin 50s on the nose or were they 30 cal? After 21 years being a fan of the P-40 and seeing so many "Flying Tiger" paint schemes... This is the FIRST one I've seen that IS true AVG!!! It also helps to have a P-40C too! Great stuff... I want to see her fly!
