The weather was great on Saturday at Chino, CA. The P-38 was outside the hangar and a P-38 cockpit was on display. First some shots of the P-38 cockpit "Miss Fluff'n Lace" .

The event was well attended and the P-38 flight later in the day was great to see. 8)

Is that a real P-38 Cockpit or one that has been constructed from pieces and parts?

You get around Cadet. Neat pics. That mockup is a great deal for photo ops. Looked like a real nice clear day I just hope it's not 110 degrees for the airshow like last year. We won't have SUSUs wing to camp under this year.
