We are once again handling the sale of a spectacular P-40E Kittyhawk, currently undergoing an advanced restoration at the workshops of Pioneer Aero in Auckland.

We originally placed this airframe with its current European consortium owners when it was in a significantly more embryonic state. As happens in the world of high-end aviation, their priorities have shifted, and this change of plan has unlocked an extraordinary opportunity for the next serious enthusiast to step in and secure what is shaping up to be the definitive P-40 restoration on the market.

For those who understand the pedigree, the numbers speak for themselves. Pioneer Aero has established a track record for delivering flyable P-40s that is, quite frankly, unmatched in the modern era. Indeed, the only organisation in history to have furnished more airworthy P-40s to the field than the team at Pioneer was the Curtiss-Wright Corporation themselves, back in the white-hot heat of the Second World War.

This is a chance to acquire a top-shelf warbird project that is already well down the road to completion, backed by the best in the business.
