“What’s on your window?” - Flightline Fabrications
Earlier in 2009 Flightline Fabrications interviewed retired USAAF P-38 Lightning Pilot John Taylor. Mr. Taylor and his daughter were generous enough to sit down for our Living History Project™ and tell us about his life as a P-38 Lightning Pilot during WWII, Flying with the 8th Air Force in Europe and his flight status on one of the most important days of WWII, 6 June 1944 D-Day! Taylor flew 63 missions in the P-38 Lightning and the P-51 Mustang with the 364th Fighter Group.
Fuel Levels – Check! Flaps – Check! Wag your rudder and get ready to take off, John’s stories flying the P-38 Lightning will take your breath away!

Have you ever landed on an small island in a plane? Check out this video of flying in a Cessna 180 and landing on an island in the middle of a river, eating a picinic lunch then taking off from the same island. I was extremly lucky to be treated to this adventure and rare event by a friend and his 2 young boys. Thank you Trevor! It was truly a memorable event!
