Default RE: Planes of Fame airshow 2013

As mentioned previously this year's show theme was "Lightning Strikes" and there were 5 of the world's 7 flyable Lightnings in attendance as well as one static example.

F-5G photo recon version of the Lightning belonging to the Yanks Air Museum. This airplane is restored to flyable condition but is not flown and thus was on static display only.


P-38E "Glacier Girl" owned by Rod Lewis.


P-38L "Honey Bunny" owned by Allied Fighters.


P-38L "Tangerine" of the Tillamook Aviation Musuem.


P-38J "Thoughts of Midnight" belonging to Commanche Fighters.


P-38J "23 Skidoo" of the Planes of Fame collection.


All five flyable lightnings in something of a formation. Not a great photo but it does serve to record the event. Sunday's formation was much tighter but, unfortuately, we were back in Arizona by then!
