P-38 Lightnings ENGINE SOUNDS!!!

Some people wanted to hear this with the engine sounds, so here it is. Glacier Girl is piloted by Steve Hinton. At the time I filmed this, these were the only 3 flying Lockheed P-38 Lightnings in the world. As of the end of 2010 there are 7 flyable P-38's, 6 in North America and 1 in Europe. This footage was filmed at Planes of Fame Air Museum, home of the P-38, 23 Skidoo, and frequent stop over for Glacier Girl and other P-38's. This was filmed back in 2007, and at that time, according to the owners and pilots of all three of these featured P-38's, they were the only 3 flying P-38's in the world.

Aren't there more then just 3 flying ones? I know Glacier Girl, Ruff Stuff, 23 Skidoo, there is another one at the museum in Oshkosh, WI. I am pretty sure that one flys aswell.

@GrandCaravanSE

Today, there are 7 flyable P-38's, with 5 to 6 of them being flown.

6 in North America and 1 in Austria. I made this video back in 2007, at that time there were only 3. 5 of the 6 in North America were at Planes of Fame Air Museum a couple of weeks ago.

@riflelord2

The P-38 known as "23 Skidoo" is owned and flown by the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, Ca., She has been here for decades...no crash's...not even a close call. She flew last weekend at the Planes of Fame Air Museum monthly flying event. Check us out on-line.

I have to say I prefer this version without the sound. It is nice that you have both versions though to satisfy all tastes.

@taofledermaus

Thanks.

Indeed. NEVER put music over warbird noises!!

I'm very proud of the fact that both my parents were part of the development of the P-38. In fact they met on the production line. My mother was in Quality Control, and my father was a Manufacturing Engineer. He designed the tooling & new techniques used to manufacture the hydraulic systems in the P-38.  My dad retired in 1982 after 46 years with Lockheed.

I can only imagine what 30 or 40 of them sounded like back in the day.

Awesome planes and nice video.

My Dad and I used to go to many airshows back in the 70's and early 80's. We both agree that the P-38 with its twin Allison engines were the smoothest and most pleasant engines to hear. I wonder what a British de Havilland Mosquito with twin Merlins sounded like? I wish I could have heard one.

Very nice!! At the Oshkosh flyin they often fly multiples of a type like this, for example multiple p51s escorting a B17. Appreciate posting the vid, and excellent idea posting one with real sound and one with music for all tastes, I prefer real sound, but certainly to each his own ;-)

@rugntile - Please tell your Grandfather that I thank him so much for his service to our country, defending our freedom's and our very lives. He's a great man!

[dannyg19683]

there are 11-or 12 that are airworthy 7 on static display and 5 under restoration. I have a list of registry numbers and locations if interested

[rugntile]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. My grandfather who turns 93 next Sunday flew P 38s in WWII. In the past he has traveled to the P38 gatherings, but not able to anymore. I believe him to be one of the very few original pilots left. Thanks to you and others, I will be showing him all of these videos. Can't wait to watch his face as watches these beauties one more time in flight. Thank you again.....

@WrUSasu You read my mind. I was about to say White Lightning is still kickin

[Audiomancer]

I built a model of this aircraft when I was a kid.
