Yes, and the P-51 at Reno due to an elevator trim tab failure if I remember correctly. As much as I love seeing these aircraft maintained in flying condition they just have that third dimension that complicates operation over cars.

There's a P-40 two seater nearby in Shellville that has offered rides as well as a Stearman, T6 and P-51. I've often driven by and felt the pull but I'll pass. These aircraft are often out of the hangers on fair weather weekends. Right Aktung, you've seen them frequently I would expect.
