The P-38 is the Friedkin airplane, "Thoughts of Midnight". Nice to see it out and about.

The Sabre at the right (behind) in this photo is the Planes of Fame example, in its new look - polished metal and new paint scheme as "Jolley Roger". The one in the foreground is of course one of the Sabres owned by the Friedkins: https://www.facebook.com/BoneyardSafari ... =1&theater

Here's a teaser of the new artwork on the other side of the POF Sabre: https://www.flickr.com/photos/50393882@ ... 0228852518
