You missed the ping? I moved to Oregon and they won't be out to hook me up until tomorrow, meanwhile I'm using Sam's. I think everyone was pinged on the 19th.

Going good. Tomorrow internet, monday, phone service, and by the end of the week I should be good to go and back on schedule. I have lots of thread work to catch up on, so does SAM!

If you are a multi-engine pilot you are familiar with the concept of the critical engine. The P-38 had both engines as critical.

If I remember correctly, it was mostly from tariffs.

Herr Goering, say hello to my little friends:

P-38L 6 aircraft formation - S/N 44-25257 in foreground. Fly-by was for the funeral of Milo Burcham (2/25/45 Bodie Collection).

Lockheed P-38

P-47N-5 3 ship formation - S/N 44-88576, 88589, 88577

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt

P-51D 8 aircraft formation

North American P-51 "Mustang"

The threat of terrorism is exaggerated--which is why I voted against the P-38, P-47, and P-51.

Evening Phil Dragoo

The threat of terrorism is exaggerated--which is why I voted against the P-38, P-47, and P-51.

You know, he probably would have voted to cut funding for them and then called all the military engaged in Europe and the Pacific murderers, rapists and pillagers.
