PeteJ Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) 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!

PeteJ Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Tried to delete this post and redo it because they are "Lightning's" not Lightings, but apparently I don't have the authority to do that. Edited May 7, 2013 by PeteJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteJ Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 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.
