The P-38 Lightning’s distinctive, almost muffled sound comes from its turbochargers. Mounted on top of each boom, they’re clearly visible when you’re standing on the wing, and too tempting to give a little spin. #FHCAM #WWII #WWIIHistory #USHistoryFacts #Warbirds #History | Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum

AN AIRWORTHY COMBAT P38 LIGHTNING is located at the National Museum of WWII Aviation in Co Springs. Such a unique aircraft from how to enter the cockpit to being a P38 that flys today and survived combat. 🫡#pilot #aviation #flight #fly #warbird #airplane #aircraft #museum #colorado | Aviatress Alyssa
