On this sight there is fantastic footedge of Restored P-38G Glacier Girl Flying in formation with an Republic A-10a Thunderbolt ii
(Watch For the "Glacier Girls" Roll as she splits formation with the A-10a! And boy that engine sound)
As some of you may Know P-38G Lightning "Glacier Girl" was found and restored to Flight after spending over 50 Years under ice In Greenland where it had forced landed in bad weather on a ferrying flight to the U.K.
