Country: | Latest info from someone at POF:
No F-22 this year, sadly. The P-59 is iffy, it may or may not be ready in time, but if it is, it will fly!
BIGGEST BADDEST MOST AWESOME NEWS!!!
2 (TWO) P-38s will be in formation (Glacier Girl and 23 Skidoo) and there may be more than 2 in the formation! Schedule is imminent on the website. Stay tuned.
Man, I am getting even more excited about this show now!

Country: | One day I will make the trip, one day hehehehehe.
I imagine I would be in heaven for a long time, sooooo many warbirds!
Definetly would have to make a trip to March AFB since my dad was stationed there in the 60s.
A P38 from Chino did make it to Charleston a couple of years ago, first time I had seen one up close, that is one sweet bird! | |

Country: | Wilco, but my eyes (and lens) will be on the sky most of the day. Once flying starts there, it's non-stop. But there is some lull in the morning and there should be time to find them, if they are around. I will be meeting a P-38 vet this spring/summer that was part of the 94th FS (Hat in Ring) of the 1st FG by the name of Robert Harris. He is the uncle of one of my coworkers.

Country: | Nope, not Bucky, Robert Dalton Harris. His twin brother was a B-24 pilot. If I get some great shots of the P-38s, I will have him sign a couple for me.

Country: | From what I understand, he was with them in North Africa before going to the Pacific. He flew a P-38 called "Viking". I have seen a picture of it. I haven't spoken to him yet.

Country: | No, as far as I know, he was with them in North Africa AND the Pacific. Sorry, that wasn't clear initially. The pic I saw was brought in by his niece. I haven't seen a pic of that plane on the net, but it might be out there somewhere. I haven't done much digging on him as I know I will be speaking with him this spring/summer. There is a tentative plan to have him come to the Camarillo show in August.
