Jane and I did get away for some of the bad weather. We spent mid-March to mid-April traveling down south, Memphis to see Pete Wasmund, Texas to visit the Stott’s and Florida to visit the Oulman’s and Davis’s. Also, three weeks in Pompano Beach playing golf. Not quite a pity party. The 2019 Reunion has been delayed one day due to allowing folks to attend the Easter Holiday with family and friends. If you have already made your advance reservations, contact the Clarion Hotel and update your reservation. The Clarion phone number is 800-725-2236 or 417-334-7666. The revised Reunion dates are April 23rd thru 28th. We’re sorry for the confusion, Sally and I discussed the change and thought this was the best way to proceed. Sally has put together a great reunion with very good hotel rates, so please forgive the confusion and plan on a wonderful time in Branson. I received an email from an old friend I served with in VW-11 Newfoundland about the Willy Victor Reunion at Willow Run Airport, Ypsilanti, Mich.

The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encourage- ment of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a non-profit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program. The Foundation is a GuideStar Exchange member. The Scholarship Program recognizes scholars who indicate a desire to become military pilots and pursue a career in the military. Other scholarships are presented to younger individuals interested in aviation but not enrolled in college.

  • Lockheed P-38 Lightning
    Last updated 1 July 2021 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| LOCKHEED P-38 LIGHTNING |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Considerable confusion exists over civilian P-38 identities. When purchased from military disposals immediately after WWII, the USAAF serial number and Lockheed c/n were quoted on the Bill of Sale. Subsequent research reveals that those sold from Kingman AZ often quoted a mis-matched c/n, probably based a listing that differs from the official company Lockheed number/USAAF serial tie-ups. This dubious c/n was then given to CAA as part of the registration paperwork, and accompanied the aircraft for its civil life. Because P-38s were delivered without a Lockheed manufacturers plate, it can not be easily clarified. 5266 P-38E 41-2048 Lockheed Aircraft Co, Burbank CA 43/46 RP-38E (test aircraft, modified cockpit area) NX91300 Lockheed Aircraft Co, Burbank CA 3.46/54 (test aircraft for Lockheed XF-90 program) N91300 Hycon Aerial Surveys, Ontario CA 8.54/62 (survey conv. at Ontario CA .54: P-38L engines and components, extended survey nose; magnetometer survey ops. in South America) (last FAA inspection 11.57, wfu, open storage Las Vegas NV 59/62) Don M.
