Isn't that "Glacier Girl"? The restored bird they recovered from the ice in Greenland?

I believe it is, in the end it says the name of the test pilot, who was the same guy who flew "Glacier Girl."

Thats NOT Glacier Girl.  Glacier Girl is a P38F.  The one in the film is the Planes of Fame Museums P38J, now painted as "Porky" Cragg's P38G  "Porky II".  Cragg was CO of the 80th FS "Headhunters', part of the 8th Fighter Group, 5th AF in the Pacific.

It used to be painted in a silver scheme with D-Day stripes with the name "Joltin Josie".  Owner was Bob Pond for a while. Steve Hinton's "Fighter Rebuilders" had restored the fighter.  It is part of the Planes of Fame Museum collection.


Pilot flying Porky II is no doubt Steve Hinton, who also did the first flight/test flying for Glacier Girl
