Hey,all.
Viewed the new Collings Foundation P-38L for the first time this weekend at Worcester,Mass. Since this is only the second time I've ever seen one before I went a little loopy with the pixs. Managed to weasel my way into the cockpit as well but as I was shooting into the setting sun so not the clearest photos.
WARNING: there's over 120 pixs so don't expect this to be a short album!
I'll post the new F6F-3N and TF-40N later...

Forgot to mention the cockpit is the most acurate ww2 version out, or so I was told.
The turbos are also still functional !

You lucky so-and-so. Definitely want to add the P-38 to my collection of walkarounds. Great stuff as usual, Tieleader.

It's only because of a many years relation with the foundation that I can do these sort of things. Paint planes, paint tanks,play in planes, play in tanks....

So we were at Worcester...and y'all didn't introduce yerself !
I've got cockpit shots of the three fighters as I was in all of 'em at that stop. I'll sort some out later when it's not so raw.
On a happier note, this was what we were doing earlier !

Beautiful!
To be honest the pilot I really knew was Mac. Going to make a goal to get to know you all now.
