Skidoo!!! Finally got a crack on Sunday at Spirit of St. Louis Air and STEM show to get a few pics after shooting video all week. I have never seen a P-38 Lightning fly, and this was a real treat!

✈️ On July 5, 1942, the Avro York took to the skies for the first time. This British four-engine transport aircraft utilized parts of the Lancaster bomber's structure but received a new spacious fuselage. Later, it also made a significant mark in the history of the Berlin Airlift. #aviation #AvroYork #RAF #BerlinAirlift

56th FG was mostly involved in low level close air support, and camouflage on the upper surfaces made the bomb-laden P-47s less likely to bounced from above by Luftwaffe fighters. Any combination of darker colours seems to have been preferred to bare metal.
