NORTH AMERICAN
P-51C MUSTANG
BOISE BEE
The Warhawk’s P-51C is painted in the markings of Boise native and 5x fighter ace Lt. Col. Duane W. Beeson. Beeson flew in the 334th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force in England. Among one of the most famous fights of WWII, the P-51 has roots in both Britain and the U.S. Originally overlooked by the USAAF, the P-51 did not see action with American forces until March 1943. The combination of American airframe and British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine made it unmatched by any other piston aircraft of the time. The Boise Bee was restored to flying condition and made it’s first post-restoration flight in 2010.

CURTISS
P-40N WARHAWK
PARROT HEAD
The P-40 was America’s foremost fighter in service when WWII began. Though often outclassed by its adversaries in speed, maneuverability, and rate of climb, the P-40 earned a reputation in battle for extreme ruggedness. At the end of it’s career, more than 14,000 had been produced for service in the air forces of 28 nations. The Warhawk’s P-40N was restored to flying condition in the 1980s, made its first post-restoration flight in 1986, and is painted in the markings of the “Parrot Head” squadron of the class of 43K Dothan, Alabama. It was used in the filming of the movie Pearl Harbor.
