No one under the age of 80 has probably ever seen that many together since the war.
I've never seen that many airworthy Lightnings together, except, of course, in old wartime film. I love them in the old army colors.
There are currently 7 flyable P-38's in the world. 6 in North America and 1 in Europe. Our presentation of 5 flying P-38's at the Planes of Fame Air Show 2013 was the largest gathering of flying P-38's at an airshow since WWII. The Planes of Fame Air Show 2013 DVD will feature onboard video footage from several of these aircraft, plus a special air-to-air version of all 5 flying in formation. The Planes of Fame Air Show 2013 DVD will be available online and in our giftshop in the near future.
Actually, this isn't the 1st time that 5 P-38s flew together in recent history. In June 2010, there was a gathering of 5 P-38s that flew together at the Mather Field air show near Sacramento, CA. It was great watching those old war birds fly.
No one under the age of 80 has probably ever seen this many flying at once.
I think the original pilot of Glacier Girl, who landed her in Greenland due to that ice storm, would be amazed at what kind of celebrity that plane is today!
If memory serves, I believe Glacier Gal is the P-38 they recovered under the ice.

ONE '38 at an airshow, a treat, two, pretty sweet, this... a dream. They seem to have the coolest birds at Chino! Thanks for posting
my absolute fave WWII airplane...man..they were so frikn badass!!..such a beautiful bird..whats interesting is the guy who created the P-38 Lightning..Kelly Johnson..also designed the SR-71 Blackbird...man that guy definitely earned his money and then some...just awesome times a thousand...))
Keep them flying, for ever!
In my opinion one of the most gorgeous planes of the era, right next to the F6F Hellcat and P-51
My favorite flying machine of all time is the P38
I've seen P-38s in flight before. What an amazing airplane! As I understand it, it pretty much swept the Pacific skies of Japanese Zeroes, gaining air superiority and ensuring ultimate victory.
Awesome. Just awesome. The P38 was the pinnacle of romance of the piston-powered airplane.
What a beautiful sight!! I wish I could have been there in person. I'm glad red bulls shiny bling mobile wasn't invited lol
I think you could.I'm a nam vet and vets don't stop what they were good at.Thank you for your service.
my favorite plane. what a site!
Had the pleasure of seeing Glacier Girl at the Sun-n-Fun years ago. God bless the pilots and ground crews.
