• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Lefty's White Lightning

Nice! Here's some kodaks I shot of the real deal, in 1984-ish, at the Madera "Gathering of Warbirds" at Madera, California. The P-38 was my favorite fighter even before this. I had seen and heard warbirds before. There were plenty at this event. But the sound of this airplane was jaw dropping. It was so different. It sounded more like a heavy turbo-prop (think P-3, E-2) when it flew past.

Great paint!

 
'93 or '94 Reno Air Races, I believe...

At one time during the race the wife and I sought refuge from the hot sun under her wing. The only shady spot available in the paddock.
