On this day in 1943, the Museum’s P-38 Lightning was accepted by the Army Air Forces. Days later, Lockheed got permission to convert it into a two-seat trainer, to accommodate an instructor to train civilian pilots. Once trained, they evaluated P-38s fresh off the assembly line.

I'm planning a hot girl autumn and it will contain writing, editing, drawing, going to writing and dnd conventions, giving panels, celebrating my 40th birthday, but most of all it will start by a flight in a 1940 biplane.

Went to go play with some planes in the museum's back hangars this morning. Some are museum planes, others are owned by the museum volunteers. Gonna do some more work corrosion on the flogger and soon that PT-19 when I'm back in FL mid December. Gonna trade maintenance time for flight time on the PT-19 + a few other birds here too! A&P license & being a volunteer here for a very long time unlocked me the secret to free flight lessons in awesome planes! X3
