I don’t know, unless the OP has an isssue, I see pics of airplanes!
Yeah, I guess we kinda' did. He he he he .... The folks in Life Support loved me!
My grandpa had a home built that took 7 years to build. I think my dad only went over to work on the plane(before he and mom were married). Dad had his license and would rent a plane while grandpa flew his. We attended many fly-ins when I was a kid. Here’s dad and I in about 67. We flew til I was about 13. Grandpa got to old and plane rental got to expensive.
Yes, he did. And, my FIL licensed it!
Always loved the p38 lightning myself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning
Never got to ride in a P38 but a friend of mine who was chief mechanic for Miss America also did maintenance on White Lightning before it was in a crash. So I got to sit in it, can't find any pictures of it tho, that was before cell phone cameras!
Yeah, the performance was just huge in those and I believe at one point they experimented with contra rotating props which made them even better. Too many issues with it though and made things a little too complex.

I believe they had counter rotating props, this made neither engine "critical", they tried same rotation for both engines and the prop wash over the tail made the plane almost uncontrollable. This is from memory 
what little I remember

I miss working in the aviation field sometimes. I really enjoyed most of the programs.
Yeah, don't get yer tinsel in a tangle.
