There are quite several -N that are still airworthy or are/were under restoration. Maybe SPman wanted to know which one you purchased. ;)

I clearly stated they were restored which means flyable.I wouldn't buy one I couldn't fly.You should also learn to read what is said.LOL

You might also want to learn to understand what people are saying...

You purchased an airworthy P-40N. Great. The question was: which one?

Here is a list of airworthy P-40N (per Wikipedia):
- 42-104687/VH-ZOC - owned by Arthur Pipe & Steel Australia PTY LTD in East Albury, New South Wales. Was NZ3125 in RNZAF service.
- 42-105915 - Christian Amara/SDPA in La Ferté-Alais, France
- 42-104730/A29-448 - Warbird Adventure Rides Ltd in Auckland as ZK-CAG.
- 42-104827 - privately owned in Huntington, Indiana.
- 42-104977 - privately owned in Winter Park, Florida.
- 42-105120 - privately owned in Okeechobee, Florida.
- 42-105192 - based at Planes of Fame in Chino, California.
- 42-105306 - based at North Bay Air Museum in Sonoma, California.
- 42-105861 - privately owned in Clarkston, Washington.
- 42-105867 - based at Commemorative Air Force (P-40 Sponsor Group) in Fredericksburg, Texas.
- 42-106396 - based at Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho.
- 44-7084 - based at Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California.
- 44-7369 - based at Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas. Removed from public display when the museum indefinitely closed on 1 January 2024. To be moved to North Texas Regional Airport in Denison, Texas.

Since you bought her in Australia, I assume it may be the first one (42-104687/VH-ZOC), but it could be another one.

Or maybe the one you bought has been restored recently and is still listed as "under restoration" in this list:
- 42-104954 - under restoration by Edwin Sedgman in Melbourne, Victoria.
- 42-104728 (RAAF serial A29-446) - under restoration by Keith W. Hopper in Wangaratta, Victoria.
- 42-105472 - under restoration by Bruno Carnival in Melbourne, Victoria.
- 42-105513 - under restoration by Ian Whitney Romsey, Victoria.

So, the question is still: which P-40N did you purchased?

None of any you listed.There are a lot in Australia but not air worthy.Not all are listed in wikipedia,as a matter a fact I don't use Wiki very much because their info is incomplete many times.

Yes I bought it in Australia but it was actually restored in New Zealand.It was found in the jungle 1970 and was part of the RAAF 75th.

From now on I will only be talking about the flight sim and no more about history or anything else.That has be made clear this is just for the flight sim.
