The thread about the scaled P-38 reminded me of a local WW II pilot. Jack flew P-38s before transitioning to P-47s. He had one brief familiarization flight in the P-47 before his first combat mission with it. Jack is still sharp mentally, and in good shape physically.

See Jack here

I recently saw a drawing for a scale replica of Jack’s P-47.

BTW, the thread title refers to people, not airplanes.
