Restored.
John Terrell, Warbird Information Exchange comments (March 2019) :TP-40N 42-104721 (N293FR) - reported having been test flown at Chino. This is an Evolution/rebuild/rebranding of the same aircraft that originally was at Evergreen, which was based on the wreck of P-40K 42-9749, recovered from Alaska where it had originally served in the Aleutians, and originally restored as a P-40K. Now the airframe has been rebuilt as a factory-built TP-40N with the serial number 42-104721 newly assigned, an identity from a wrecked and parceled-out P-40N that was recovered from New Guinea where it had originally served with the RAAF as A29-499. |
