These guys are having too much fun flying the Corsair and P-38 in formation.

I tried to embed the video several times, and failed as usual.

Default Great Find

Nice. More GoPros in the cockpit than I've ever seen!

That's a very rare early-model P-38.

I liked the GoPro shot mounted to the Corsair's left wing, as it unfolded.

Am I the only one that thinks the Corsair pilot looked like Darth Vader flying his Tie-Fighter in Star Wars?

My two favorite WWII war planes.
Have to go with a stick over a yoke for that flying though.

Thanks for sharing.

Not really -- just looks like one since it is wearing the low profile cowlings without the big chin intakes that you usually see on the later models.

It is actually one of the best known P-38s in the world for the last 30 years or so.
