My father, a P-38 pilot in the South Pacific in 1944-45, said the aerobatic training in these was great fun!
Lucky guy!
Probably one of the most beautifull planes ever built (if not THE one)
While I agree that the Lightning is a graceful and beautiful (and very capable!) aircraft, I have to strongly disagree with you on it's being the most beautiful plane built. I think the Able Dog (Douglas Skyraider) was the pinnacle of prop plane development and was able to fulfill so many roles, for so many years, because it was just plain perfect
ightwoman maybe, but we didn't have the A1-Skyraider in world war 2.. It came out in the late 1940s and of course is rembered very much during the Vietnam war
@@ightwoman one of my favs, too, but different category, no? 320 top speed and pure ground attack (luv them in Bridges at Toko-Ri). I thought you were going to say on beauty either P-51, Spit, or a sleeper...F8F.
Nah .......
the Feisler Storch and the Blackburn Roc were far more graceful .
Kinda Partial To P51 Mustangs Myself!!!😊
Lt. Col. R C Wilson flew the P-38 in WWII at age of 22 - piloting more thru Korea and Vietnam - 30 years serving this country. Love ya Dad!!
The music isn't needed. Ugh. The engines are the music. Still nice
Agreed, the sound of radial and piston engines of fighters and bombers from that era is melodic.
Came here for this comment. So tired of stupid bgm
Who looks at the footage of this and thinks, 'I know what it needs, generic background music'!!
At idle they sound like a beautiful 3/4 race cam Hemi.
Some people just don't get it.
I built an RC P-38 back in 1990 to 1993 (took 3 years) from a Royal kit. Enya .53 4 cycles, retracts. Flies great! Sounds unreal with the twin 4 cycle engines running in harmony.
I haven't flown it since 1997 but I am going to fly it this summer as I am getting back into the hobby after raising my children. I love the P-38 so much.
Beautiful machine! I am so pleased when vintage aircraft owners fly their aircraft and share it with others in witnessing the aircraft in its natural intended environment, The Air where they belong and not holding down the concrete Tarmac. THANK YOU for keeping that wonderful machine in great airworthy condition. CHEERS...
Admiral Yamamoto disliked this video.
Rocky Intertidal That's funny!
Rocky, that's hilarious!!
This video was Yamamoto's "Viet Nam flashback." :)
THIS PLANE AVE DONT BE USE ON THE VIETHNAM, IN THE PA CI FIK THAT WAS
@@michaelhollister7932
Yamamoto got killed by one of these I think?
I was privileged to see a P-38 Lightning in real life. The sound of the plane as it passed was wonderful. Like nothing I've ever heard. This video brings back memories
What year? You mean in the 1940
the p-38 is beautiful and the SOUND of those engines is so awesome!
How could you hear them over the woke porno music?
What a pilot, What a family, What an Organization- CONGRATULATIONS! I always enjoy watching you fly,either in person or on video.
bob dyer w erry good air craft p 38
Steve Hinton has the absolute best job on the planet!
i agree I envy him
Fantastic P38 footage of one of the best planes ever created.
Nice shots with stable hands. Music is also good. I liked it. Congratulations!
Steve Hinton is a fabulous pilot.
Steve's good. Lefty Gardner was the best!
Bob Hoover!
Incredible! Great flying and cinematography, too! I have only seen a couple of P-38's exhibitions.. most memorable for me was Lefty Gardner's "White Lightnin'" He performed some aerobatics in a P-51... landed... walked over to "White Lightnin'" and took off. At the end of the runway on takeoff, he performed a barrel roll. He was in his 70's at the time. Impressive pilot with a phenomenal aircraft.
My favorite plane of all time.
My Favorite prop plane , small ,agile , powerful ....complete freedom in flight... so much fun to fly you can sure tell... and a venomous attack fighter , viciously maneuverable , very fast! A beauty to behold!!
I can’t help but to think of Jeff Ethel every time I see a 38 fly..RIP Jeff. We miss you
He is the the most calm and cool pilot flying!
What a beautiful machine. Thanks for the video!!
Probably my favorite stick and rudder man (besides my dad) and one of my favorite warbirds! Awesome video

"Skidoo" (which this aircraft memorializes) was flown by Perry J. Dahl, a fighter ace who shot down nine enemy aircraft in WWII in the Pacific theater. Dahl went on to serve almost 40 years in the U.S. Air Force retiring in 1978 at the rank of Colonel. Dahl is still living as of 2023 (100 Years Old) and is one of the last living Fighter Aces who flew the P-38 Lightning in WWII.
Very deep, throaty sound on those Supercharged Allisons. Loved every moment.
Just an incredible airplane, always has been one of my favs!
Hinton is one of our great modern day aviation heroes, P-38 had a great "impressibility factor",
I've seen Steve fly 38's for over 25 years, never a bad performance.
Thank you Steve for great display of P-38
My grandpa flew one of these in WWII, so cool to see this video!
Sam Young my grandpa flew these too, test pilot, he died in one, Atleast that’s what I was told.
@@BlueStar712 damn
The total firepower coming out of that nose was devastating...ty for sharing
What a beautiful machine
So graceful in flight and listen to those engines howl! No wonder the Germans called them Fork-tailed Devils! Thanks for posting this video!
Gorgeous flight!
1982 on the beach in Galveston and above a P38 buzzes the beach in town for an air show. My only time to see one in the air. My dad loved to see them overhead when he served in Europe in WW2 because there was never any doubt, nothing else looks or sounds like a 38 so it had to be one of ours.
Excellent film work with cool music also, I rode with Steve in the Spam can what a great day that was. Cheers my friend!
My father was an Army Air Corp instructor during the latter half of WWII.
The P38 was his favorite plane to fly. I recall building a Revell model of the plane in the early 50s while ge explained the advantages of twin engines over water in the Pacific The range of the plane after Lindberg sorted out mixture and manifold settings and combat tactics with the plane.
He described it as flying a Cadillac compared to other single engine planes.
I recall him mentioning that the plane was not designed for low altitude dog fighting with Zeros but that it was very effective in high speed passes against Japanese planes climbing out and returning to repeat .
He mentioned that after the J model some pilots could handle the plane in a tight relative low speed low altitude engagement with the Zero but not many and sat the Japanese pilots of the later war years were not as good as early in the war.
Many stories and explanations as I built the P38 the P51 the F4U the P40 the P39 the P47 the F6F the F8F and others.
I was very lucky.
awesome, Id love to see a P38 in person someday
me 2 I am 63 years old was my favorite plan from when I was 8 years old
What an incredible pilot Steve Hinton is. I wonder how many different type of aircraft he has flown?
Steve is probably THE most experienced war bird pilot alive today. He tends to get the call any time there is a new restoration of a rare aircraft. He did the maiden flights in the Glacier Girl P-38 as well.
Imagine, it was only 35 years after Wrights first flights... XX century was pure Magic
Kelly Johnson was pure magic. And a true wizard.
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Great footage of an awesome airplane. Thanks!
Fantastic plane! Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands!
It’s funny the music didn’t bother me at all it was quiet enough and even with my hearing problems I could hear the airplane just fine , thanks for another great video I stumbled on
Nobody's crying. We simply want to hear only the engines.
Super video. Thank you for posting it.
they were no kidding on how quiet this thing is. it just whispers.
Very stealthy.
Main reason for that are the turbosuperchargers the P-38 uses; they muffle the exhaust A LOT!
Such a beautiful aircraft!
What a beautiful airplane. The singularly most unusual and beautiful twin engine fighter of WWII. I am fond as well of the F7F Tigercat when it comes to twin engine fighters of that war.
It was the most advanced fighter that was developed in WWII. Thanks to Clarence Kelly and Hall Hibbard, and it's test pilot Tony Laviere. It as a pilot's dream especially in the Pacific Theatre, twin Allison 1710's 111 and 113, counter rotating props. ,cancelling out the torque made by 1710 cubic inches. Roughly 1325 hp except in war power 1500 hp each. They had a tricycle landing gear so now the pilot had excellent vision while taxing. It had a massive wing support, same wing as the Constellation on a smaller scale, gulps 3 gallons a minute. Can climb to 39,000 ft. Has mapped most of the United States. They usually brought the pilot back when over the Pacific on one engine can achieve 255 mph. The Later models had Fowler flaps which helped recover the plane in a dive from an unknown problem called "compressibility" which was reaching the speed of sound and could not be recovered and proceeded to dive into the ground. Of the operational accidents during WWII we had 138 losses of this airplane until we understood "invisible" phenomena that caused this outstanding plane to crashI differ with the fellow in the comments of one person leaving their comment. They were very air superior in the Pacific. Our two leading Aces, Major I hard "Dick Bong and Major Thomas B. Meguire Bong having 40 kills and Meguire having 38 kills of the 475th Fighter Group. The fire power came from 4-.50 cal. And one 20 mm Bendix aerial cannon good for a 1,000 yes, no need for the traditional "bore sighting" that usually accompanied wing machine guns. The fire power literally ripped the other plane apart. The P-38 manual designates "no aerobatics below 10,000 ft. Not enough altitude to recover. Hoot Proudfoot of Great Britain found that out doing a loop and "slapped" the ground and exploded. The manual speaks explicitley not to be two low , this plane is very heavy in weight. I belong to the Sacramento Chapter of the P-38 Association and we have had several Pilots that flew them in the Pacific and European Theatres and they held their own. One such pilot flew F-5's photo reconnisciense over Normandy to photograph Rommel's "asparagus" his obstacles to prevent our Higgins Boats from landing.He is 91 years old and was a handsome rascal. The P-38 was the easiest fighter to fly, with the power settings right it flew itself right off the ground , rolled, looped and as Steve Hinton said, "it climbs like a homesick Angel".This is a product of Lockheed innovation.
Awesome display of flying!
one of the most beautiful planes ever made. can't wait til we get this in il-2 bos!
You can actually hear those super chargers kicking in while steve hinton is flying the P-38
ww2 planes sound so good. I was born in the wrong time. wish I could go back and work on these beautiful pieces of engineering.
Why wish to go back in time when you can work on them here and now, and have a wealth of historical knowledge and medical treatments that these guy did not have access to at the time. Mechanics back then didn't know what other mechanics in other theaters had figured out. And a mild heart attack was nearly always fatal.
That one airplane sounds like a squadron of B-17’s….plus that insane firepower. Looks badass; sounds badass; is badass.
1:10 The design of this plane's fuselage is so unique. It looks more like a Siamese twin !
That machine is breathtakingly awesome. Respect.
One of the most beautiful planes ever made
Excellent 👌 When I went to basic at Lackland AFB, there was a twin Mustang displayed outside of the ops center. 1971
I liked the story of Charles Lindbergh spending time in the Pacific during WWII teaching the P-38 pilots who would go after Admiral Yamamoto how to conserve fuel for that very long mission. It is said that he even flew a few combat missions with the pilots.
Fuel conservation was not a part of the attack mission (though they would have appreciated it on the way back). In order to escape detection the fighters flew at low altitude on a detour route that was 600 miles long on a tight time schedule. As such, the fighters had to use a combination of one 165 gallon drop tank and a 330 gallon ferry tank to go that distance, drop the tanks for combat, then try to make it 400 miles back on internal fuel. _That's_ when they could have used the fuel conservation techniques-- when they could climb to higher altitudes and head straight home.
awesome video of the P-38
Great video!
Could've been a great video. Ruined by the lame music. The only music I want to hear are the twin Allisons
The photography, editing and flying is magic.Nix the music.Sounded like I was in a blacked-out coffee house somewhere in Sydney, circa 1968.
Amen to that, didn't even finish the video because the music was so annoying!!
👍
They should have used the music from level 1 1943.
Its bane of youtube videos generally. Music covering up engines in car videos, covering up the wind and waves in sailing videos...blah. Just let us enjoy the natural sounds of this stuff.
Great aerobatic display nice plane
This plane looks like such an excellent design!
beautiful plane !!! beautiful sound of engines !!!
Beautiful aircraft 👏👏👏
Beautifully restored
Great Video, Great Plane, and Great Pilot...
Dad flew one...been a fan my whole life
Beautiful show
Some of those inverted maneuvers were close to that 10-second pump limit. Impressive!!!
Beautiful aircraft.
Like the f7f tigercat this one is popular noisy amazing aircraft brilliant video
BEATIFUL VIDEO!
I was there, a very nice airshow, and thanks bunches to Planes of Fame for sending some planes!
I have seen many many many warbirds in my time, as a museum piece, flying, or just parked on the flightline during an airshow. But, the one I wanted to see most of all was the P38. Took me years, but when I did... Lets say, I was not disappointed one bit. Absolutely fantastic plane. Every inch a fighting machine, yet has all the grace of a dancer.. that is, one who can dance with their enemy and knock them out of the skies with that grace. Not the rough and tumble that some are, this one is more grace and elegance (and a deadly weapon). Being twin engine, always had to fight that much harder to prove its worth in the world of single engine fighters (aside from the Me110, and Mosquito for the most part). But, it met every challenge.
Fantastic plane. My personal fav.
My father was a US Army Air Corps pilot based at Wright Patterson Airfield in WW II. One of the early P38’s arrived at the base and the pilots were lined up waiting for a chance to fly it. The pilot before my father crashed it and did not survive.
Great plane. Great footage.
Derek Ambler
In answer to Charlie Bowmans query the max tactical Mach number of a P-38H in a dive was 0.68, the P-47C managed 0.71 while the P-51B Mustang managed 0.78.
The Me 109 and the Fw 190 both managed 0.75. A Spitfire PR11 was recorded in a test dive from 40,000 ft as achieving 0.92; the highest speed ever recorded by a piston/propellor driven aircraft; (see 'Wings on my Sleeve' by Captain Eric Brown. page 72).
What a beautiful aircraft!!
cheezus what a plane...from the blueprint to the take off and landing...stunning.
Beautiful !
Just love the P 38, video and music. Simply great!!!
Beautiful indeed!!!
Beautiful Aircraft !!! Nice Exercising of Airframe!! KEEP EM FLYING !!!
I like this video very much, even with the music. It sort of romanticizes a plane built to destroy enemy aircraft. You can hear the engines just fine if you use headphones. These planes were tuff! All of the American warbirds were very tuff. That's why we controlled the skies.
Greg Munoz It wasn’t a great air superiority fighter, but it was well-suited as an attack plane.
"Daddy what's that sound?" "Thats the sound of freedom, son."
that shitty background music?
"Daddy, what's that sound? That's the sound of crappy music drowning out the most beautiful engine sound ever made !! Oh, ok, I was just wondering.
That's the sound that made it so I could come home again.
@@gregoryronnback2756 Welcome home.
you got that right
Love the P-38's! Not that I have ever flown one (or anything minis a drone). Just a neat plane IMO.
jon jenkins It performed well in a ground-attack role.
Great Video,,,
This is awesome
Beautiful Airplane!
Engine noise a BIG plus thank you !
Thanks.Great Airplane---Lockheed P-38 Lightning.
Thanks Kelly Johnson, Tony Levier (a fellow Duluth born Minnesotan), and Dick Bond (Wentworth WI), for saving me from speaking Japanese. Not that I have anything against the Japanese. Not now, anyway.
While the Lightning had it's share of problems, still one of the most innovative and beautiful designs. And I'm a Corsair fan myself
So damn smooth!!!
If any plane could run rings around the mustang this is the one.a peace of 🎨art.
Woow! This plane is so beautiful
they look so small but once you see them in real life, they are huge. why does my eyes do that?
. Graceful
I went to Reno this past year and Steve Hinton was flying the chase plane for the races.....I kept telling my friend Dave who came with me for the week, about who Steve Hinton was and what a bad ass he is. I was like "It'd totally be cool to meet him for real"....well, I did lol, sorta.
We wormed our way up to the front ropes during the last Unlimted class race to watch Rare Bear and the likes start up, and Steve Hinton was headed out to his T-33. When he crossed the rope he kicked me in the back of the leg as he put his leg over to cross.....he very politely said "excuse me" and I mumbled "Sorry" since I was clearly in the way and not paying attention. When I turned and saw it was him I look at Dave and said "Damn dude, do you know hwo that was???" he said nope, and I said "That's Steve Hinton!! I just got kicked by Steve Hinton!!!" Totally made my trip :-)
The Lightning was the mainland's home defense fighter so it was a common sight in the skies especially over So Cal where the aviation industry was based.
These would be the Model 122 birds, the P-38 (no letter) and the P-38D (for some reason at the time, combat-rated fighters were supposed to start at 'D' and go up from there).
The Model 222 fighters (P-38E through H) were sent overseas.
@@BogeyTheBear It was given D designation. For example the P-51. Just for alphabetical order so it was ABC then D being the most common then switched to F for "Fighter"
When I was a kid always thought the P-38 was the coolest fighter of the Second World War. Had the old Aurora model of it that was my favorite model
I've got several in my collection.
