This P-40 was restored out here in wine country. It has an authentic wartime record. Check out the video.

Thank you for posting the link, Rick! Chris, the owner, spent an amazing amount of time on this aircraft to get it where it is today, and it definitely shows in the quality. I'm glad that he is keeping it in an accurate, factory fresh scheme - I would hate to have seen it end up being painted in yet another in-accurate shark-mouth scheme like some other owners would do – and for that I commend him even more. The aircraft features a very nice TP-40, dual control setup, fitted into the stock airframe, making the opportunity for ‘flight experiences’ possible.

Thanks for sharing the link ST! Looks to be a nice accurate restoration from all appearances. Also is there a website for this owner(s)?

according to the article-
"Prevost added a second seat in the fighter and plans to sell rides in the plane beginning in March, beginning at $1,595 for a 30-minute flight."

I'll keep an eye out for more information.
