The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a WWII American fighter aircraft. A very versatile aircraft, the Lightning was used for dive bombing, ground strafing and photo reconnaissance missions.

Nice, this saturday the PGR here in KY are meeting WWII vets returning from washington D.C. at the airport and welcoming them home and escorting them to their destinations.

I highly encourage everyone to get involved with the PGR. Active, Retired, Reserve, and civilians with or without a motorcycle. It's free, voluntary, and you select when and where you would like to attend any functions. All that is required is to have a heart.
