Some nice flying!

I would love to have that kind of view in both planes.    I noticed they removed he head plates and the what ever that is over the Corsairs pilots head.  Great video.

  Nice Video.   Irresistable urge to pull the trigger when that 38 was in the sights though.

Agree.
What really grind my gears is how Red Bull has to plaster their name on everything they own with the largest graphic availible.

Sweet vid though.

It ain't chrome, they just polished it. But no kidding. They tried really hard to make a P-38 ugly. Gawdy graphics and ugly scoops.

Their designer evidently has a ricer with a fart can, a fake scoop, and a top fool wing. It's probably some sort of neon green with
crappy orange graphics, too.

There is no need at all to significantly alter the lines of a P-38, Kelly Johnson and the guys were brilliant, form follows function, and the P-38 is a beautiful aircraft.

Actually Red Bull didn't change the P38. They left the racing mods from it's White Lightnin' days. They were pretty restrained in the graphics too. The scheme is representative of the original prototype apart from that big red bull!

What are them things they have over their eyes to protect them from the sun? Surely WW2 pilots didnt have those did they?

I don't mind what they put on it as long as they keep her flying.

Agreed.  They tried.

It's still purty though.   

[Charge]

Did you notice the incredibly slow roll of P38 despite maximum controller deflection. Strange.

I know the person who designed the bulls on it very well.  He is about as country as you can get.  They, Red Bull, described what they wanted, and that individual did what the customer wanted.  As for the "changing" of the lines, White Lightning was heavy modified to begin with.  Why the sour grapes now?

I wonder if a non-race modified P-38 would be classified as an experimental TC, because then you'd also be giving up one costly paperwork process (and aprooved) for an identical and equaly costly process that wouldn't even guarentee she could fly.... giving up the chicken for an egg with the FAA, as if it were.
