Wow, very cool. Bob Prescott was the origional president of the Flying Tiger
Line, having helped start that company after the war. FedEx bought us in 1989, and I see that little card under the wing.... "Dave Kearton" wrote in message ... -- Cheers Dave Kearton

Gordon's response "When FedEx bought out Flying Tigers, the contract said, "all of the company's assets, including all aircraft." FedEx was a bit surprised when, among all of the heavies and regional jets, the list included a frickin P-40! It is the one true "Flyer" in our collection - install the battery and hit the starter button and its ready to go tangle with some Oscars. I am the Plane Captain on that lovely bird. FedEx comes to our museum a couple times a year and cycles the hydraulics, raise the gear, etc. to make sure everything is in perfect running order. I -love- that aircraft. " -- Cheers Dave Kearton
