Funky air scoops or not, that is one STUNNING restoration! Fantastic! There's just something about a polished aluminum finish. . . 8)

Something I just thought of from the pics...

On civilian p38's without the turbos, what is the duct arrangement? If there are no turbos, there is no need for intercoolers, so do they just blow thru, are they used as extra radiators,.....just curious?

An amazing and gorgeous airplane.

Was it running hot, or did they just do a manual wide-open setting of the radiators during the initial flights?

I don't know what the engine temps were...but it is hot as %^& ! I know we have been over 100 for the past five days, and we are not far from Ezell's.

I still would like to see the photo flight with Glacier Girl, and maybe Ole 927?

An early bird flight! Maybe even Special Delivery could get it on it? How bout it Elroy? :wink:
