I've had great times at Edwards. Been stationed there twice and loved every minute of it. During my last assignment there I distictly remember sitting on the flightline watching a B-2 on final with an F-22 doing EOR checks and a CV-22 in the pattern--all in the same sight picture--just awesome!

 

Not to mention a great photo of 1bmwfan jamming to guitar hero in my living room!

Very cool Phil. Couldn't make the airshow here but, got this show over my house Friday at sunset.

[Firefight911]

Yep, that right there is 4 of only 7 flying P-38s. One of those in your photo is Glacier Girl.

One of the best air shows in the country and not published much. I really miss that part of the world.

 

Thanks for the link

I had no idea. That, my friend, is a shame for such a beautiful and significant aircraft.

[Francois_Dumas]

Last time I was in Lakeland, FL, they were restoring yet another one. Will check on it next month ! :-)

I used to see P-38s in the unlimited races at Reno during the 80's. Not anymore.

[Firefight911]

Did someone say Reno Air Races? Yep, I thought you did. Headed there as we speak!

 

[SageRider]

The last P-38 racing at Reno was Lefty Gardner's. Unfortunately, the plane was crash landed, sold to Red Bull and transported to Austria.

There were supposed to be 6 P-38s at the Reno Air Races this year, but the most I saw was two.

Reno had major issues with the winds on The final day (Sunday) which saw the cancellation of the T-6 Gold, a crash on landing after a mayday of one of the super sport class Thunder Mustangs. A ground loop at the end of the same race by the second Thunder Mustang, and the cancellation of the big event, the Unlimited Gold.

 

I will be posting photos from the races over the weekend, but have posted the sequence that I captured of the Thunder Mustang crash. Giboney, the pilot, walked away...

Ugh. Sickening to see that but wonderful there were no injuries.

 

Looks like Thursday was the perfect day.
