    There is (or was) a P-38 museum and restoration group near the CO Springs airport. Our motorcycle club toured their facility some time between 2013 - 2015 (can't remember the exact year.) They were in the process of restoring a couple of P-38s there.

    Definitely my favorite WWII fighter (although as a paratrooper my favorite WWII plane will always be the C-47. I actually got to jump from one at Fort Bragg in 1995.)

    BTW it was a "killer flight" of P-38's that took out Yamamoto in the aptly named "Operation Vengeance."

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
