yup. third from bottom is my new desktop.  :aok

LOL CAP, I'm a LALA dweeb and I thought the EXACT same thing when I saw that pic!

The 38 is my son's favorite warbird, and truth be told mine as well... I'm just not good enough in it to live in it in the MA....

Probably "Glacier Girl", when the Schoffner family owned it, the insurance policy required that the only pilot in command allowed was Steve Hinton.

There are people who can resolve that issue for you, all you need do is ask.

Doubtful.  The elite p38's pilots in this game were born with an ability that cannot be taught.  Either you have it or you don't.

You don't have to be elite to live flying the P-38, you just have to be fairly smart, and a decent pilot. It can be taught.
