We have a bunch of other cool stuff based here locally like Miss America P-51, another P-51, Skyraider, 2 Douglas A-26's, and several others I am forgetting. Lefty Gardner's P-38 used to be kept here until it was sold a few years back. Another family friend takes care of alot of the privately owned warbirds in the area
It's a real bummer that there isn't much here in Vegas. Only a P-51 and you never see it. I love the Skyraider! Big, ugly and mean! I've always wondered what happened to Lefty's P-38.

Man I need to go to the Reno Air Races!
