Dick Thurman's K loks to have indeed done time in the Aleutians, take a peek here:

And if we're counting statics then there's the P-38 that was recovered from Attu and restored by the USAF recently. On the other side of things theres the Oscars recovered by Champlin from the Kurils that the TAF are working on at the moment. There must be lots of P-40's with combat history, there's the FHC 'C', Yagen's 'B/C', Curtiss Wright historical association's example are only the early examples, I'd be here all night just doing the 'E's I think! Enuff warbirds for one night methinks.
