Hey Guys,
I went back to check out the status on the restoration of the P-38 in Middlesboro, Kentucy. They are now shooting to have her flying within the next 60 days !!!!!!! According to the Glacier Girl Gazzette, they have to finish an engine panel and create another one for the other engine. A pilot has been found and is ready to start flying. The plane still has to pass the FAA inspection, but they feel that the plane will get the stamp of approval....

I'm not a figher pilot, but I play one on TV... well no , not really, but I'd lie about it to get into one!
I figure I could sit there drooling and making vroom vroom noises for a couple of minutes before they caught on and pulled me out...

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.
