What is the story with Red Bull buying up warbirds anyway. I tried looking on their site to no avail.
Anyone know whats up and maybe have an inventory of what they operate???

If I understand correctly, that would have been Mr. Hinton at the controls.

Great snapshot (literally) of the P-38. Looks great back in the air!

Is this the most gorgeous thing you ever saw in the sky ????
Just out of curiosity did Mr Gardner ( Lefty ) ever visited during the resto work ? Did he had any comments on the work done to White Lightning and the scheme chosen ?
Do not get me wrong, I am sure he is more than pleased by the simple fact the his son incident turned out without any loss of life or serious injuries. Also, a lot of water has ran under the bridge since then & I am simply curious if anyone know his feelings / insights on the subject since his family had to depart with the P-38.
Please do not let this turn into a right or wrong thing to do argument. I am simply looking for how one feels after seeing the end result.

I am going to take off now and go back and take Geography again. Good Lord, I drink two red bulls a day......I knew they were in Austria.

They own a Grumman Albatross as well, I saw it fly this weekend at the air race.
For what it's worth, they also own 20% of the teams in Forumla One auto racing.
Red Bull is about the biggest supporter or speed and motorsports in the world, I certainly trust them with these warbirds, there is real passion there.
