P-38: Unusual view shows how quick flaps deploy

[Widewing]

Very unusual flight view, with something to learn.

Tom Dozier video for Planes of Fame.

Flaps to maneuver setting at 4:25. Interesting how they go in before extending further for landing. Nice vid.

Probably missed the detent if he used the detent.  It is hard to see if the first flap setting was 8 degrees.  Could be.

Great video.

Yes, let's help Steve Hinton with the P-38 flying.

That was a cool video, thanks for posting. Seeing a P-38 fly in real life is on my bucket list.

Randy if you look at Zeno's P-38 video the landing procedure has the flaps out 50% initially before going to full flaps. I still think 50% is more than 8 degrees deflection. Somebody must know.

Gawd what a beautiful flying machine.

Steve Hinton is such a gentlemen. I went down to planes of fame and he was pulling dip sticks on that 38. Walked up talked a bit and got a nice pic. I had always wanted to meet him ever since I saw my first pictures of the RB-51.

They're quiet compared to the others I saw taking off for the arsenal of democracy fly over.

Watched it and a few others 1/2 a dozen times, all   

In this one I assume she had flown earlier as it was started up and just pulled away.
Not much action but the radiator doors were a detail too.
