|
|
| Within the last year or so, one of the major magazines (Plane & Pilot, Flying, etc.) had a cover feature and story about a privately owned and restored P-38. What was especially unique about this plane was that it was retrofitted with a modern cockpit and electronics. I have been searching like crazy to find this article again. Could anyone possibly help? Thanks! |

| I don't know the magazine the article was in, but the aircraft is the Red Bull P-38. http://www.hangar-7.com/en/the-flying-bulls/lockheed-p-38-lightning-f-5g-6-lo/ |

| Thank you Jaak, but I don't think it was the Red Bull. I don't remember seeing the logo or any mention. Seemed like it was a privately owned aircraft. |

Here's a pic of the updated avionics, see if that might look familiar:
