Glacier Girl - P-38 Lightning

The recovery and restoration of the P-38 Lightning, known as Glacier Girl, is in my opinion one of the greatest Warbird restorations in history. A short history on its recovery and restoration can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_Girl . I was lucky enough to make the trip to Middlesboro, KY at least once a year during the Lightning’s ten year restoration and check on its progress. Images in this gallery are from my many visits to see Glacier Girl.
