Did you see the episode with the gleaming P-38’s?
Man, those were some nice birds. I haven’t seen many episodes but caught that one on TV several months ago.
Yeah, the ones on the show (I think there were three) were the only ones Flying at the time.
There is one that was restored owned by The William Lyon Museum next to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA.
I used to work right next door.
Years ago I ran into an old guy who flew one in the South Pacific in WWII. He loved that Plane even though it had some “issues”, like not being able to pull out of a steep dive until they added Air Brakes on the “J” Model (I think).
