Few of us will get the chance to fly one, but for me the next best thing was being on the wing of a P-38 during an engine run up like you guys did. What a gass!!!!!!

Besides feeling like a broom in the closet, it is really quiet riding in the back a P-38. But watching Lefty driving was a work of art.

Congrats and a well done to Nelson Ezell and the whole crew at Ezell Aviation...
