There are only 7 P-38s remaining in flying condition. Here were two of them. These pics are of 23
Skiddoo, the plane owned and flown by the Planes of Fame museum. Last year the P-38
recovered from the icy North and christened Glacier Girl was one of the group leaving three out of seven flying P-38s over the skies of Chino. It was
heartwarming to see eight veteran P-38 pilots still alive at ages up to 80. These guys were all just a bunch of farm boys before being trained as pilots and sent off to free the world of evil. It was like an
EAA Chapter One meeting on steroids!
P-38s are proof that we're all on
this flight together.Dick
