P40 Warhawk | Behind the Wings

The Curtiss P40 Warhawk was the third most widely produced U.S. fighter aircraft during WWII, at 13,000+ units, but is now a rare find. Go on a field trip with curator Matthew Burchette as he descends on the Sonoran Desert to learn more about Pima Air & Space Museum's efforts to restore an iconic P40. Get a behind the scenes tour of the aircraft inside Pima's restorations hangar, learn about the amazing history of this aircraft and peek under the cloth at the P40's chief rival.
