Title: Dear 80TH Head Hunters...
Post by: mthrockmor on February 06, 2012, 06:50:27 PM
This past week took me to Southern California so of course I had to run by Planes of Fame, Chino, California. I took dozens of pics to include some P-38 action. I'm guessing you twin-boom drivers have all of those you can stand. Here's one though. They had a bench dedicated to the 80th. Thinking of those annoying -38s turning like Spit 5s I took a picture. My thought was I'd trade it for one pass at Mir, he at less then 145mph, flaps and gear down. He needs to be at 5k though, no vulching.

If you want this pic you must sacrifice Mir. Or PM me, whichever comes first. Or a pic of your hottest housewife. And no, nekked pics of Dadkev do not count.

Met Steve Hinton soon afterwords pulling dipsticks on same 38.  Real nice approachable guy for being a rockstar in my eyes.

I call BS here, that B-38 is in pristine condition, clearly no 80th HH flew this plane It must be photo shopped I can tell because I seen many photo shops in my time.

*puts on tinfoil hat and walks away screaming conspiracy.

Sadly that bird was painted as an 80th HH 38 prior to the current markings.  It used to be based in Minnesota too back when Planes of Fame had a spot at Anoka County Airport.  It's a 38J too.  Kinda miss her.  Thankfully we've got an 80th marked 38L in Minnesota now though  :aok

Now about Plaz's wife.... :)

I'll post the picture tonight after work. As for the hot "wife" picture, I'm OK that you cropped your wife out. What's her friends name?

Lol, I was google searching for "studmuffin fighters," before I realized that the filter didn't like the name too much!
