KaspeR32 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 "A World War II airplane belonging to Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) has been found in the Sahara Desert nearly 70 years after it crash landed, Metro reports. According to Vintage Wings, a Canadian aviation news website, Jakub Perka, who works for an oil company, came across the Kittyhawk P-40 in March when his team was on an expedition in the Egyptian desert. As the photos below show, the plane is in remarkably good condition, with the cockpit's instrument panel and plane's body nearly unharmed despite almost seven decades in the Sahara." 1 Intel i5-2500k @ 4.4GHz w/ H70 liquid cooler, ASRock PRO3-M Z68 Mobo, 32G 1600Mhz Mushkin RAM, EVGA GTX970 4GB , OCZ Agility 3 128g SSD, SanDisk 240g SSD, Win7 64-bit --Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/livingfood -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monotwix Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If it was to undergo a restoration, how would they unroll the prop? I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If you have a stutter and wear glasses then you have no chance... but 8yrs in the Army was good enough fo me. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
