Ode to the P-38 from Military Photos by livingwarbirds
Oh, Hedy Lamarr is a beautiful gal, and Madeleine Carroll is too,
But you'll find if you query, a different theory amongst any bomber crew
For the loveliest thing of which one could sing (this side of the pearly gates)
Is no blonde or brunette of the Hollywood set -
But an escort of P-38s.

Grissom volunteers help preserve history - Grissom Headlines
It was late on a chilly Saturday fall afternoon with temperatures barely cracking the 40 degree mark. Three reservists with the 434th Maintenance Group had already completed a full day of work as part of their monthly Unit Training Assembly at Grissom Air Reserve Base. Now, in their off-duty time, they had a number of choices of what to do for the evening.
Go for pizza? Chill out with their buddies and watch sports on TV? Have a nice hot meal at the Grissom Club? Instead of any of these options, they decided to put on some extra layers of clothes and volunteer their time to wash and clean one of the historical aircraft on display at the nearby Grissom Air Museum.

'Jetman' Rossy Ditches In Africa-Europe Attempt from AVwebFlash Current Issue
Yves Rossy, the Swiss pilot who has set numerous records flying a pair of eight-foot-long carbon-fiber wings propelled by four jet-fueled microturbines, ended up in the chilly North Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday while attempting to fly from Morocco to Spain. A helicopter arrived on the scene and within less than 15 minutes Rossy was rescued, unharmed. He later told the press he was foiled by descending air that was pushing him toward the sea, while flying at about 2,500 feet. "Unstable at this height, that's no playing any more," he said. "So I did throw away the wing and opened my parachute." The flight across the Strait of Gibraltar, about 24 miles, was supposed to take about 15 minutes, but the ditching occurred just five minutes after launch. Rossy will probably try again sometime next year, according to news reports. "He is a man of courage," said Stuart Sterzel, one of the sponsors of the attempt. "He will get up and dust himself off."
