There are very few P-38s still airworthy at this time but there is usually one at the static display area. The last one to race regularly was "White Lightning" but it was damaged in a crash landing a few years back and is currently under repair.

There are P-51's galore! Like ten of them racing. There are two gold (top) class P-51 racers, Strega and Voodoo. The world's fastest P-51, Dago Red, retired after last year's race but I wouldn't be surprised to see it back one of these years.

Don't just wish you could be there...BE THERE!!! If not this year, start planning for next year. 3rd weekend of September.
