Dick Hansen still has his P-40. It is painted as Robert Scotts aircraft and is based at ARR. It is on the US Civil Registry, so an FAA database on the web should show the serial number.
The P-40 at Reilly's was owned by Roger Simpson until he was killed in a Fouga accident in June 2001. I heard that the project went on to a gentleman in Ohio and restoration does seem to be underway again.
