Hi all, don't post much because my knowledge of planes is much less than my love of watching and listening to them! Growing up around the Mohave and Reno races (for a few years anyway), my stepdad Ray Poe lamented the fact that I couldn't tell the difference between a RR Merlin and any other engine. Again, just loved the sights and sounds!
Anyway, at work yesterday (Ferndale, WA) saw a very distinctive plane that had the tail look of the P-38. Didn't get a picture but it was flying around the Bellingham airport area. Told a coworker "Hey, that's a P-38" but then wasn't too sure as it looked...less substantial...than the P-38's I've seen pictures of.
Are there other planes, perhaps civilian planes, that have the same/similar tail configuration as the Lightning?
Thanks all
Chad
