Thx Jim, what camera/ format did you record this with. Very few people have been able to record this experience from the Lightning’s cockpit. Wasn’t the Kid involved in some kind of multifaceted trade including the F-82?

I used a Canon Hi8 L2 video camera. It was state-of-the-art at the time in 1993-4. The video was taken from the radar operators position behind the pilot and in the path finder plex nose. It was quite a thrill to fly in the P-38, especially in nose...better than IMAX!! The P-38 was a combined J, L and M model with a night fighter canopy and a path finder nose. We had a fighter nose made for it but it crashed before we were able to replace it. I believe it may have been the only three place P-38 ever made.
