I don't know if anyone else saw this. But I love old war birds and would love to own a P-40 or any WWII era fighter/bomber. Here is a neat discovery of a P-40 found that was crash landed 70 years ago in Egypt. Check it out!

Wow, can't believe no one came across that in 70 years. Funny them pulling the ammo. What a find!

That's really interesting...just shows how expansive the Sahara desert is when it comes to trying to find or hide artifacts.
