Thanks for posting that. Wonder who was flying the P-38? Levier?

[Mark Allen M]

Both engines feathered on that P-38 at one point?

Thanks Mark - the air show footage is awesome - super early Blue Angels! I am willing to bet there are not many that would risk flying a P-38 demo like that one these days.

I believe both Levier and Hoover did that with the P-38. Don't know who did it first.

Another pretty cool video.
