Good to be here. Great thead. Thanks for the pix.

BTW, speaking of P-38s, does anybody know the status of the rebuild effort on Lefty Gardner's P-38? His son was flying it recently, I believe, when a fire broke out in one of the engine. The good news is that Lefty's son got it safely on the ground in a farmer's field; the bad news is the airplane suffered some extensive damage.

I think there are only 7 P-38s still in flying condition, after over 10,000 were built during WW ll, and hope that the aircraft is restored to flying condition.

I wasn't aware of the rebuilding of that aircraft. Maybe Sam knows something about it?

The last I've been able to find out was that the plane was repairable and he was taking donations to help get it restored.
