Wartime 5th Air Force P-40N 42-105861 was abandoned at Dumpu Airfield in Papua New Guinea. The fuselage was recovered in 1974 and stored at Chino, CA. Restoration began in 1996 with parts from two other P-40s (42-104959 / wings and cockpit section and 42-105526 / tail surfaces). For the first flight after restoration on Mar 1, 2008 the fighter was registered N49FG.
