I have received one PM from someone wishing to remain anonymous who claims that the aircraft has not yet flown. My original source is far from official (not first hand).

Well even if it had flown I suspect it would be difficult to verify... It is so shiny I don't think anyone could look directly at it without going blind. :lol: 8)

Groundloop. Dad's first repair job in TX before we moved out here.
Note the angle of the spade door. The Gear box structure holds a hinge for this door which was hit by the gear partially folding outboard.

PS- not to hijack the thread but no, the P-38 has not flown.
