If you're going to put work into it you might as well make it FLY, you know? I wouldn't just restore a car without it being able to drive.

I agree completely Rob,
Why have it if you're just going to look at it...
The P-38 IS a beautiful bird, I was really excited to be there when it took to the skies .....would have been cool if they loaded the machine guns with blanks.....strafing the crowd...he..he...of course would probably caused a few heartattacks that wouldn't have been cool...

So do you all see me in the crowd? ....If ya did, let me know where I was at, ...as I didn't see me
