Default Static Display @ Winter Warbirds in Phoenix

I finally pulled this P-38 beast out of storage and brought it home. Before the trip home I put it on static display with a P-40 & P-39 at Winter Warbirds in Phoenix as a group recognizing the Allison V-1710 engine as our first front-line fighter engine.

Its a product of a series of images taken during Operation Overlord in Normandy from approx D+2 to D+8 and its been in storage. Its due for a full annual, receiver, bat and general maintenance, but it was born a dirty bird and will stay a dirty bird.

Location = A-1 (ELS)(RRS)(ALG) & (Phoenix)
