Ok; a couple years ago my dad was able to go up in a B-25 at an Airshow, and was lucky enough to find himself next to one of the two P-40's at the WarHawk Air Museum. 
Note: the P-40 has a different paint now.  (http://www.warhawkairmuseum.org/virtual_tour) If you want to see it.

Haha... Can't grow them now, its to cold, but when you fly out to the south of Idaho, (because the north is all mountains)  Its all farmland, and I used think of them as Radars.
