Re: P-38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW the P-38 that was at Camarillo is now in Chino. Steve Hinton flew it gear down a couple weeks ago to go to the owner in the midwest. This I believe was due to the Air Force general forcing the P-82 to go back to the Air Force per some old agreement. The P-82 is at or will be at Wright Patterson soon for restoration. Quite the blow to the CAF as it was prominantly displayed and well taken care of in a hangar. I blieve Steve flew it gear down to minimize the risk of a problem after not having been flown in years.
