First time seen on the interwebs! Short stop on the way to Sun-N-Fun in Funny part was that the guy had to go to a gas station to pick up some gas for us!

Well both actually. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/353455/img141-132393.JPG I got to see that P-39 up close and personal once. I also got to spend a whole afternoon sitting next to the ex-astronaught that owned it. Frank Borman was a special kind of gentleman. I was a fresh CFI and he had been around the back side of the moon yet he treated me as his equal. Nothing could've been further from the truth yet in his eyes I was his peer. He even asked me to give him a refresher on how to read METAR/TAF. I have rarely been so honored. The cool thing about that P-39 was that it wasn't just any old P-39. It was THE p39 that Frank flew in the Korean war. He had the right connections to persuade the powers-that-be to sell it to him after it had been mothballed. It looked absolutely immaculate in all respects. In the cockpit, under the cowlings... pure perfection. |

Just when I'm trying to decide between round goodness and 12 cylinders you have to go post this. NOTAR would have been even better. I think the NOTAR is one of the aircraft I have yet to photograph! |

I got to see that P-39 up close and personal once. I also got to spend a whole afternoon sitting next to the ex-astronaught that owned it. Frank Borman was a special kind of gentleman. I was a fresh CFI and he had been around the back side of the moon yet he treated me as his equal. Nothing could've been further from the truth yet in his eyes I was his peer. He even asked me to give him a refresher on how to read METAR/TAF. I have rarely been so honored. The cool thing about that P-39 was that it wasn't just any old P-39. It was THE p39 that Frank flew in the Korean war. He had the right connections to persuade the powers-that-be to sell it to him after it had been mothballed. It looked absolutely immaculate in all respects. In the cockpit, under the cowlings... pure perfection. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yeah, no. Frank acquired the aircraft and had it restored. Its not a P39 it is a P63. Neither P39s or 63s were used by the USAF in Korea. Except for P51s and F82s the USAF fighters in Korea were all jets. Frank bought the P63 in 1995, and sold it in 2003.
