4...I think there are 4 left in flyable condition

[lst1195]

Any Idea how many of those are left in the world?

Un bloody believable to good to be real these US fighters were the best prop airplanes that ever flew and there will never be planes like that ever again.

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

Is this the Mosquito?

[pe580]

@Myfaceisonfirenow P-38.look at the tittle.

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

@pe580 mosquito is a nickname, P 38 would be its official name.

[pe580]

@Myfaceisonfirenow i know.but this the Lightning not the Mosquito

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

@pe580 Thanks! :)

@Myfaceisonfirenow

Wrong... P-38 is called Lightning.

The germans called it the Devíl's Fork, due to its shape !

[mrgears]

@TheReverendTonyTNT That's close. A better translation is "Fork Tailed Devil"

[LordReaper117]

my grandad flew P-38's during WW2 over germany as bomber escorts, i sure miss him

[TosXMellow]

@LordReaper117 really? i forgot what plane it was but. my grandad was the gunner on the back of the plane.

[TheReverendTonyTNT]

@TosXMellow It's a one seater plane...

Mosquito is a two seater, but next to each other !



[TosXMellow]

@TheReverendTonyTNT ooo. XD i still have no idea what plane he rode in.

[TheReverendTonyTNT]

@TosXMellow

You fly in planes... you don't drive or ride 'em

[TosXMellow]

@TheReverendTonyTNT troll often? you know what i mean so what is the problem?

[TheReverendTonyTNT]

@TosXMellow no problem, just point out the correct verb !

[csskalet]

[CorrectiveAction]

Fabulous :-) The Jet Fighter Museum is restoring one at Parafield Airport Adelaide South Australia...I must check it out again soon. They have an Allison V12 on a stand which they run every now and then...impressive. Thanks for the Vid.
