Recently discovered P-40 in Florida

Hi All,

There have been two postings recently, of Barnstormer ads about a P-40 sighting in Florida.

I did some inquiring, and it turns out there is indeed a newly discovered P-40, however, it is thought to contain the remains of the pilot.

Suffice it to say, until the remains are recovered, it would not be a good idea for anyone to go warbird hunting. Authorities are aware of the situation, and I will let you all know the details as I receive them.

Apparently two enterprising individuals placed the ad's on Barnstormers, and then had a disagreement, and both are trying to sell the location of the P-40, for....are you ready for this??? $100,000! It takes all kinds......
