Would this be flying to Europe with another P-38 that has flown half way there twice????


Nope, this is old news. Originally the Red Bull P-38 was going to be flown to Austria, but now it is being shipped.

Name of the fellow that's building that scale P-38 is Jim O'Hara...

Plus, looking at Jason's second pic, seems that the props are set up for counter rotating. I noticed that at the air show in San Angelo, as well.

I've been getting a few PM's from some nice folks here, which I have been asked to keep to myself, which claim to know of something in the P-38 world to be going on restoration wise that most of us do not know about. All I can say is I hope so. We just don't have enough in the air. I guess we'll wait and see.
