March 2017
The inaugural Los Angeles County Airshow was fortunate to have a P-38 in attendance courtesy of the Planes of Fame, seen here starting to tuck its gear in after takeoff. “23 Skidoo” is the Lightning owned by the Planes of Fame Museum and operates out of Chino, CA. This aircraft never saw any combat before being surplused and changing hands until being restored to flying condition in 1988. The P-38 wears the markings of “23 Skidoo”, flown by Captain Perry J. “Pee Wee” Dahl of the 432th Fighter Squadron, 475th Fighter Group. Nikon D500 w/Tamron 150-600mm.
