hello! i am not sure that the P38 waw on duty early 1942. it was a super twin engines in service in 1943/1944 !! probably a P 36!!
Maaannnn, why couldn't he have waited to do it in Sioux City. We'd have been cool with it.
Some of us really miss our F-16's (and even the old A-7's) that used to tear up the sky around here.
that ws great maybe the pilot watched topgun
It's laughable to hear most civilians talk about military aircarft. In the mid-1980s there were public hearings in Camarillo, CA on moving the 146th Air National Guard unit from Van Nuys, CA (San Fernando Valley) to NAS Point Mugu, CA (Oxnard Plain coast). Camarillo is along Point Mugu's Runway 21 line up but is 12 miles from the base. Camarillo is where the Oxnard AFB was back in the 60's for the really "experienced" people.
One gentleman at the meeting kept making reference to the increased noise he would have to endure at his house (15 miles away) by those noisy C-130s on approach. Finally, one of the F-14 Grumman mechanics from NAS Point Mugu (Pacific Missile Testing Center back then) stood up and asked him, "Sir, do you even know what a C-130 is?" His reply, "I don't have to know anything about it other than it has 4 big, noisy jet engines on it."
Ok, turbo-props are "jet" engines, but I'd rather have C-130s flying over my house than BUFFs any day of the week. Wonder if one of those "rocket boosters" can be fitted to my car? (JATO bottles anyone?)

What gets me, all the folks griping about the noise are the first ones that holler and scream if a base or ANG group is planned to go away. You can't have it both ways people.
I've heard the work really good on Impala's. ;)
Hmmm, my dad still has a 1990 Impala.... maybe a custom restore should be planned for it. The trunk should hold about 4 bottles :-)
It would probably snit and git.lol
