The latest Classic Wings mentioned Pioneer Aero have completed and flown another P-40 recently. Nothing about it yet appears on their website.
Has anyone from here seen it flown yet? Is it still being test flown? Got any photos?
It is flying in US colours and will go to the USA (if it hasn't already).

This aircraft had system checks and engine checks completed and was then packed up and sent to the US as the owner wanted the test flying to be done there so it never flew in NZ. Miike Nicholls started the restoration at Omaka some years back and had done some very high quality work on the aircraft.

Thanks Gavin. That's a shame but I'm sure it will be seen in Classic Wings again soon when it takes to the air.
