Built in 1939 and delivered to Selfridge Field, Michigan in May 1939. She participated in the 1939 Cleveland Air Races in September 1939 with experimental camouflage.<br \/>\nShe participated in the War Games at Maxwell Field following the Air Races.<br \/>\nShe was sent to Wright Patterson for testing in 1940 and then on to serve with several different squadrons on the U.S. East Coast.<br \/>\nIn 1942 she was sent to Chanute Technical Training Command for a few months, thereafter she was labeled obsolete and flown to Buckley field in Colorado.<br \/>\nShe was put into a Tech School following her decommission and was later acquired by a Pratt &amp; Whitney Tech instructor from Canada, where she resided until a Florida collector acquired it and passed her on to The Fighter Collection more than a decade ago.<br \/>\nThe restoration commenced some four years ago, under the leadership of Matt Nightingale at Chino, California when sufficient original parts capable of overhaul were recovered to ensure that the aircraft could be completed to fly. Steve Hinton carried out the shakedown flights and the FAA certified P-36C made it first public appearances at the 2015 Planes of Fame Airshow, in unique flights with the Museum\u2019s Seversky P-35 in similar markings.<\/p>\n<p>\n[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Aircraft Type: Curtiss P-36C<br \/>\n\u2022 Year of Manufacture: 1939<br \/>\n\u2022 Powered by: Pratt &amp; Whitney R-1830-17. 1,200hp<br \/>\n\u2022 Colour Scheme: US Army Air Corps.<\/p>\n<p>\n[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Gallery:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">[print_gllr id=12030]\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12021","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12021"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12021\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15849,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12021\/revisions\/15849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
