Super video.   I will watch it again.

That and the other P-38s are the best planes in the game.

Thanks for sharing! I've never seen a real p38 fly before so that was excellent!

Very nice, thanks for sharing WW.

A lot more movement with a lot less force on that control yoke than I would have expected, looks like he's just throwing around sim yoke. I expected a lot less range of movement and a lot more resistance from the ailerons.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
