MIDDLESBORO, Ky. -- With propellers whirling and 1,275-horsepower twin engines humming, pilot Steve Hinton raced the P‑38 Lightning down the runway and lifted it into a gray sky for a 30-minute flight before an estimated 20,000 spectators in this small eastern Kentucky town.

We are not affiliated with the USAF or Lockheed.
Our entire operation is supported entirely by people like you.

As our parents, grandparents and friends who were "hands on" with the P‑38 Lightning are continuing to leave us, keeping this website available as a tribute to them is vital.  This aircraft was an important part of their lives and their history, and to carry on this legacy, we need funding.

What would you pay for a good aviation DVD or book? If you enjoy this website, please consider a financial contribution of the same amount to help defray our increasing costs and ensure that this part of aviation history continues to be available to people all over the world.

We have a page to thank our website's financial contributors and will add your name when you make a contribution.  No donation is too small, after all $1 from a million visitors will keep us going a very long time!
