nice catch
Tail number 162 is "23 Skidoo"
terrific pic
Amazing to see two legends together. Great photo.
WoW.......
Now we need to see two Mosquitos in formation!
Nice !!!
Great shot.
Very, very, nice And to catch Glacier Girl is just an added plus.
I was fortunate that about an hour after I saw this photo on FA, I saw one of these P38's fly over. I don't know which one it was. It was in a flight of 4, the others looking like T28, or something similar. They were just passing through around 7,000 ft., probably Chino to Camarillo California. Luck also touched me in 1997 when a friend and I were flying around TN, and happened upon Middlesboro (KY) airport (1A6). From the pattern I could see something was happening in one hangar. I walked over there to see Glacier Girl being rebuilt and renovated. It was a small operation with some terrific people rebuilding her.
Great warbirds.

Or two P-38s built of steam-bent Canadian birch plywood. ;)

To me the Lightning is the most beautiful WWII plane !!
Thank you for a very good photo and the informative comment of this unusual aircraft that appears more like a bomber than a fighter aircraft.
BADASS!
