Magic Zach Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 While I drive to Anchorage for this: http://www.alaskaairshow.org/2018-arctic-thunder, I'll try to take a peak at this: http://www.warbirdsnews.com/warbird-restorations/p-38g-lightning-returns-restoration.html, all assuming it won't be at the Arctic Thunder.

Whirlaway Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Love the Lightning as well. Would love to see it, but I believe it was primarily utilized in the Pacific /Chinese_Burma and North African theaters of operation and not so much in the Normandy area. Regardless, would still love to see it as an A.I. aircraft. That's not accurate. The P-38 was used in all theaters. One of our family friends was actually shot down in a p-38 over Germany.
Buddyguy_PL Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 UP! Lest start the discusion again. We have Mosquito now and no p-38? Thats weird for me. I think p38 would be more popular plane than MosQi

Amazing how many people think the P-38 was not a factor in the ETO; 6 entire Fighter Groups were equipped at the time of D-Day. That's 6 Groups x 3 Squadrons x 16 aircraft = 288 operational airframes on a good day. It may have been outnumbered by it's contemporaries but if any one thinks almost 300 aircraft is somehow insignificant? Well... 2
Nomatic Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I’m sure i’m already ob here, but +100 here. I’d actually fly WW2 if we had a P-38 and a B-25. Let’s gooooo P-38!!!! If speed is death…, buy a Honda and live forever.
