Unfortunately we lost Jeff Ethell in a crash flying a P-38.He crashed on final approach during a landing.Ironic that he was killed flying the same type plane his father flew in the war.Not sure what failed on the plane...probably engine failure.Condolences to him and his family.He made several videos flying all types of WW2 planes.Great man and excellent info provided by him flying these historic planes.He will be missed.

Too bad Jeff Ethel died in a P-38 crash,he brought us so much closer to these ww2 aircraft through his films.He will be deeply missed.

i could watch and listen to this guy all day how how interesting indeed and a breath of fresh air as well, ,a shame in this day and age the kids missed out on growing up and playing these ww2 planes back in their day,i mean thats all we kids did,war games and cowboy,s and indians,we knew all about the planes and built them in kits as well..and to see these birds today in flight makes my heart skip a beat,,so so sweet!!!

wow, excellent video, so cool, the P-47 was just a beast...

just stumbled onto this video. I worked for the man who owned the P47 in the video and I had the great good fortune to fly with Jeff Ethel in a P51. A great man all around. He is missed.

As groovy67 says, Jeffrey Ethell was the pilot who flied a number of restored WWII warbirds.His last flight was on a P-38 freshly restored.Seems one engine died on the takeoff.After the crash the plane take fire.
