alot of the refab work on aircraft is done at Tinker A.F.B. (my dads first civilian job out of the airforce) and i saw a few being regenerated out there 10 years ago.
you know another reason why the british p-38 sucked and the americans rocked. was because the p-38didnt have the range needed to be effective. then Charles Lindbergh in april of 1944 went to the combat theater in the pacific to be a "observer" and almost doubled the range of the p-38. Also got a kill and was brought back to the united states in fear he may endanger his life.
by the way... you should be punished for the misleading information...
I guess we should sue buddafabio

greg "pappy"boyington was an ace also. alot of hellcat drivers were aces. p-38 drivers were aces. there may have been more united states aces thin the pacific then in the german theater. speaking of there were a few germans with 100+ kills.
They will include a mount that can support the gunpod. Graham posted that fact a couple of days ago.
I'd be interrested in one of those flexistands of yours. How much will they be going for?
