Ironically I saw a piece of the vertical stabiliser of that plane at Chino this weekend. Practically all that is left is the number 5.
There was an article from the paper about the accident and he did say that he was in deep sh!t before he crashed according to the article.

I have heard that there will be 5, and possibly 6 P-38s showing up at Reno this year!

A rare sight that would be! Correct me if I'm wrong Eric, but aren't there only about seven (7) airworthy P-38s in existence?

That's what they said at Planes of Fame on the third of this month when I was there. They flew their two P-38's on that day and mentioned that they were working on getting 6 of the 7 that are flyable to show up at Reno. IIRC, The one that won't be making it is in Germany.

I was only aware of 6, but things change in the warbird world sometimes quickly.

There was a P-40 at the Livermore AP, LVK, panted like the one in the photo, called SU*E. Had art on the vertical stab of the front of a dame one side, back side on the other. I thought it went to GB, where it crashed? Anyway, enjoy. There's nothing like to sound of them Merlins full tilt across the start finish line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
