The latest and greatest P38 action from FSD/Milviz!

Both White Lightning and Glacier Girl are P-38's. White Lightning was a reno racing P-38 that had its supercharger blow and had to set down in a corn field. The family owned and operated aircraft had to be sold to Red Bull since they could not afford to restore the aircraft back into flying condition. The P-38 was restored into amazing condition, and first flew under Steve's control.

Glacier Girl is the most famious P-38 ever, buried under 200 feet of ice, for 60 years. They melted a tunnel to the crash sight and recovered it peace by peace. They restored it to emaculate condition, and again, Steve was the man tapped for the first few flights.

Here is the Red Bull/Lefty's White Lightning

Steve Hinton flew the B-25 "Photo Fanny" (out of Chino) which was used in a Bud Light TV commercial. I was lucky enough to get a gig doing a stunt jump for the commercial out of a DC-3. While the Mitchell was on site I got to jump from it too with Mr. Hinton at the controls. Was kind of tricky. Had to sort of slither out of the belly hatch, aft of the bombay. The door had been removed.

That B-25 has been in more TV and movies then any AAA celeb. I did a TV show out at Chino and they used it as a camera ship. They took the tail turret off and replaced it with a gyro camera.

The guy sticking his head into the hatch you jumped out from is the camera operator that sat back there with the director as the aircraft flew around it. Very cool setup.
 
I like your P38 a lot ..... but is it DX10 ???
I hope yes 'cause I'm ready to open up my wallet
