P-51 vs P-38 from Fighter Pilot University
Sorry, but we just can't get enough of Robin Olds here at FU. This an awesome interview with Robin where he compares flying combat missions in the P-38 verses the P-51 in WW II. He was asked by the interviewer if there was ever a time he was caught with his pants down, and in typical Olds fashion he gives a one word response--"NO." The pure love of flying that this aviation hero had should be contagious.
