love the P-38!
2 and 5 where the best shots, not meaning the others where not good as well!
Great shots and I think it’s spelled caribou.
Hi @StormyAviation.
You are right for referring to the animal. But according to the maps I have seen, this mountain range is named Cariboo. The area there apparently has lots of caribou, I don’t know why the spelling is different.
ah okay thanks never knew that. weird that the spelling is different
You’re literally one of the very very very few people who flew the P-38 and made a post about it. Congrats to you for being able to fly it!
Ah, here’s a rare one. I’ve rarely seen someone fly the P-38, let alone see a post with images about it.
Some nice images, you have. :)
Great photos! Gotta love the P-38, such a fun plane to fly in IF!
Thanks, @Philippe_Gilbert, @Astreal and @Butter_Boi. Obviously not having auto pilot on the P-38 means the pilot has to be active for the whole flight. My funny secret is that during my first 9 months in IF, I didn’t know what AP meant, and so I flew all my flights by hand. Once I realized about AP I thought “Boy, that makes things easier!” LOL.
