Lightnings over Chino

Recommended Posts

Yesterday over the airport in Chino California. If you weren't there you missed a great opportunity to see 5 of the 7 flyable P-38's left in the world. Nothing like the sound of 10 turbocharged Allison V12s. Back never wrote such a concerto!

Tried to delete this post and redo it because they are "Lightning's" not Lightings, :blush: but apparently I don't have the authority to do that.

I have HD surround Video that I took these stills from. I will post it if I ever figure out how. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here are some of the other birds. First is my Dad's. He was a founding member of the Black Cats in New Guinea. I have a document that states he did a split S in one of these to get away from a night fighter. I also have several pieces of shrapnel that they too out of the wing tank when he got back.
