Wiki

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is an American single-seat, twin-engined fighter aircraft that was used during World War II. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps by the Lockheed Corporation, the P-38 incorporated a distinctive twin-boom design with a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Along with its use as a general fighter, the P-38 was used in various aerial combat roles, including as a highly effective fighter-bomber, a night fighter, and a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks.

Notes

This is my gold special plane, requested from Trainz448. Thank you all so much for gold.
Probably my best VR cockpit. Everything labelled and in reach, along with being realistic. Should be good for VR flying.

Hope you are all having a awesome holiday season. Happy flying!
