I'd like to think that these were some of the P38's that I help build between Sept. '42 and Sept. 43 during the time I worked at Lockheed Burbank. (Over 10,000 were built). I would like to celebrate my 85th birthday (and the 70th anniversay of my work on the planes) next year by getting a flight in a P38. There are a few available for that purpose here in Southern California and as a Life Member of the P38 National Association, I ought to be able to work out an arrangement. This a great video

THAT WOULD RULE

Wonderful warbirds. The p-38's my favorite W W 2 airplane.

@MrDjvaughn So did I, especially sense they flew overhead within 5 miles of my house and didnt even know it. I obviously wasnt home that day.

@campcoburn Where exactly was the factory? I live in LA now and I've tried doing some digging and haven't been able to find the address. I know the property has been sold, but I'd still love to drive by and just see where these were made. My grandfather was a crew chief for a p38 for the 94th fighter squadron over in N. Africa and Italy. Also, as for the flight, the place that offers a ride is Planes of Fame in Chino, CA. The cost for the p38 is about $1200 if I remember right.

To see 5 of those gorgeous lightnings at the same time there are no words. My mother worked at waco army airfield during the war and I can see why the P-38 was her favorite!

ok, well the music is a blending of sorts of 4 songs....so no real soundtrack so to speak. The beginning is from HALO, Truth and Reconciliation which morphs into This Is Our Land(Epic scores Vol ??), then, I Still Have a Soul(Epic scores Vol??) and then, In a Moment of Greatness from the Excelsius soundtrack.........thanks again!

Ok, for EDMARTINTX, the airfield with the runways you asked about was Shafter-Minter-Field near Bakersfield....and forNoLongerFooled, we were heading to the old Mather Field in Sacramento for the CCA show and I was lucky enough to be flying in the back of a P-51 as 'escort'! Thanks for all the nice comments! Next time?? Oh dear......
