Three P-38's in formation!! Figure one will be the museum's own "23 Skidoo", but the other two....maybe "Glacier Girl"? And......?


Ought to be quite the show..

Sounds good Victor. I'm really looking forward to seeing those Lightnings in the air. Should be something..

Re: POF Airshow 2007

I've been waiting for the info to be posted on the air show site, but since I'm not very patient I'll ask here.
We are thinking of going, and will fly in commercially from Seattle or Vancouver, BC.
What airport do we fly into? Is it Ontario? Are there other options that aren't too far away? What about hotels? Do we need a car?
thanks!!

Ontario is closest, and yes, you'll want a car

Glacier Gal and the POF P-38's are two of the planes, whose will be the third? Thanks in advance

I think the third is Put Put Maru, she has been flight testing the last couple of days in Fla.

Re: POF Airshow 2007

The third one is due to be Jack Croul's (the ex-Museum of Flying and Bill Lyons one)

Re: POF Airshow 2007

Thanks for the clarification. That is the aircraft I heard was being readied in FLA, I just had the wrong name with it.

Re: POF Airshow 2007

The one in Florida is Tom Blair's, which also being overhauled ready to fly again soon (at Stallion 51). With the Red Bull one at Ezell's, we should have 5 flyable P-38s by the end of the year (up from 2 earlier this week)!
